Heavy promotional article, will need a complete rewrite to meet our standards. I can't establish the subject passes WP:GNG or WP:PROF. Solomon 7968 16:42, 31 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There are ~~decent~~ some Gbooks and Gscholar results. Problem is, this article has been so devotedly created and crafted by SPA promotional editor User:Harischandra over 7 years -- who is clearly Murali himself or someone affiliated -- that I wonder of WP:TNT doesn't apply. The article would need to be heavily edited for spammy tone, verifiability, etc., and then the article would need to be maintained so that the SPA or another account doesn't do it all over again.
