This article was prod because "These remarks lack any qualities of Quotability." The tag was removed because "succinct quote covering all the references about Indian mathematics". I do not doubt that it is informative and useful to note prior works that provide an overview of most topics in the field of the book under review (itself not mentioned in the quoted passage). However, even allowing that people who are notable for their work in technical fields are not always expected to be particularly witty, pithy, eloquent, or poignant in expressing their thoughts, this information does not represent a particularly wise or insightful expression of original thought. It is bibliography. — Ningauble (talk) 16:38, 27 June 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete as nom, without prejudice to creation of an article on this notable person with more quoteworthy material. ~ Ningauble (talk) 16:38, 27 June 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep Sadly this is just a waste of time. We should have articles here on everyone who won the Fields Medal, so why delete "informative and useful" quote which the nom admits. I added another quote of his, on his personal hero and colleague Alexander Grothendieck. I believe this one does represent a "particularly wise or insightful expression of original thought".
