Fails WP:ANYBIO and/or WP:GNG.

He is an academic but fails WP:NACADEMIC comprehensively. Being an associate professor is not remotely notable and I spot no reviews of his works/scholarship across journals et al. Working as Research-fellows et al doesn't count either.

Now, the aspects of Dalit activism et al:-

There are news-pieces about Sec-377 decriminalisation in India; wherein he serves as (sort of) a spokes-person for a NGO, working in the field. Not a single news piece covers him in any minimal manner. Just a one-line byte and that's all.

Incidentally, Hard news' is not a RS.

He writes opinion-columns over Indian express but that's coverage by him; not about him.

Now his art-works:-

This and this review just covers the broader event and name-drops Sumit as a participant (along with several others).
This is more worse; being a list that contain hundreds of names without any more info.
The Tribune piece devotes trivial coverage to his performance, over an event; that they covered. Hardly; a significant review of Sumit's performance.
A three-line review of Baudh's sound sculpture in the context of a broader event. ∯WBG^converse 13:12, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete as WP:TOOSOON. I really want to support its inclusion, but the coverage is too shallow. We almost always delete an article for an associate professor, with very rare exceptions. As as artist, he's never shown in a major art venue, although the Frieze Art Fair comes close. I'm sorry. Bearian (talk) 20:09, 22 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

delete as no enough sources to prove his notability for inclusion here. almost all the sources mentioned as citations in this article are actually produced by him only, like his statements, events which he was part of or his publications etc. QueerEcofeminist^{"cite! even if you fight"!!!} 12:50, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
