  Done Removed the link and replaced with a live one.--jojo@nthony (talk) 14:16, 26 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
  • Suggest adding a little more biographical detail to the lead -- where he was born, where he got his degrees.

  • during from 1961: something wrong here.
  Done --jojo@nthony (talk) 14:23, 26 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
  • What does MSIL stand for?
MSIL stands for Mysore Sales International Limited, a Government of Karnataka undertaking, which has provided the endowment for that position. Please see this link --jojo@nthony (talk) 14:21, 26 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
  • I'd use a more common word than superannuation; I know what it means in general but I don't think it's in wide use (except perhaps in India, if this is standard phrasing) in English-speaking countries when talking about people.
  Done Superannuation is a common word in India with regard to Government service but I get your point. I have replaced the word. --jojo@nthony (talk) 14:26, 26 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
  Done I have used the correct name, Law of the Rectilinear Diameter. --jojo@nthony (talk) 14:30, 26 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
  • Percolation threshold in covalently bonded chalcogenide glasses was another of his notable observations: this doesn't quite make sense; you can't observe a concept. You can make observations relating to it, or you can be the one to come up with the concept.
  Done Reworded the sentence. --jojo@nthony (talk) 14:37, 26 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
  • His work has drawn citations from other authors: everyone gets cited; just pointing out that he has been cited is not notable. If you can say widely cited, with a source (such as the ResearchGate link in the article on Narinder Kumar Mehra) then that might be worth saying.
  Done Couldn't find his citation index, he does not feature in new age repositories like ResearchGate and Google Scholar. So, removed the claim and moved the references to external links. --jojo@nthony (talk) 14:50, 26 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
  • ASI would honor him again with the 1993–94 with Dr. S Bhagavantam Award: looks like some editing debris here.

These are all minor points and I will pass GA once they're addressed. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 13:24, 26 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

I'm going to go ahead and pass this; I would suggest at least redlinking MSIL to Mysore Sales International Limited if there's no better target, or you might consider an explanatory footnote, but I won't hold up GA for that.
