- Strong Keep WP:NACADEMIC#6 states The person has held a highest-level elected or appointed administrative post at a major academic institution or major academic society. . She is the current Vice-Chancellor of Ambedkar University Delhi. BTW it passes WP:NACADEMIC. Vice Chancelors of major universities are notable as per WP:Academic.

- Keep Satisfies C6. Nomadicghumakkad (talk) 10:37, 15 May 2021 (UTC)
Delete. Vice chancellor is not the highest administrative post at Ambedkar University Delhi (that'd be chancellor), and I don't think vice chancellor of a small university satisfies WP:NPROF C6. I don't see any sign of other notability, in particular, citations look well below WP:NPROF C1. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 09:24, 16 May 2021 (UTC)- No. The chancellor has a ceremonial post that involves dressing up for degree ceremonies, not an administrative post. The vice-chancellor has the top executive post. Phil Bridger (talk) 11:04, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
- A Vice-chancellor has the top executive post in commonwealth countries. Powerful Karma (talk) 14:21, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
- @Phil Bridger and Powerful Karma: Is this like the president and provost of a US university? (The president mostly fundraises, the provost runs things.) For a US college/university of 5000 students or so, I think we'd probably find the president notable and the provost not-necessarily so. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 07:25, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
- I don't think there's any real equivalent at an American university. Chancellorship of a university is far from being a full-time job, and is held by a figurehead - usually someone very notable in their own field, such as politics or entertainment, but not necessarily an academic. The vice-chancellor has the "highest-level elected or appointed administrative post" as described in WP:PROF. For example, my daughter received her degree from the chancellor of her university, Floella Benjamin, who is very accomplished, but made her name as a children's television presenter rather than an academic, and probably wouldn't have any idea about running a university.

- Ok, I'm convinced, at least so far as striking my delete !vote. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 18:26, 17 May 2021 (UTC)

- Keep per WP:NACADEMIC#6:
"vice-chancellor in countries where this is the top academic post"
. The vice-chancellor is the de-facto administrative head of public universities in India. -- Ab207 (talk) 15:38, 16 May 2021 (UTC) - Keep Satisfies WP:NACADEMIC#6: Has top academic post and as per
