Comment: Well done on creating the draft, and it may potentially meet the relevant requirements (including WP:GNG, WP:ANYBIO, WP:PROF) but presently it is not clear that it does. As you may know, Wikipedia's basic requirement for entry is that the subject is notable. Essentially subjects are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject. To properly create such a draft page, please see the articles ‘Your First Article’, ‘Referencing for Beginners’ and ‘Easier Referencing for Beginners’. Additionally, the draft tends to read too much like a CV, which Wikipedia is not; and contains writing and spelling errors that are not of a standard appropriate for an encyclopedia. Also, if you have any connection to the subject, including being paid, you have a conflict of interest that you must declare on your Talk page (to see instructions on how to do this please click the link). Please familiarise yourself with these pages before amending the draft. If you feel you can meet these requirements, then please make the necessary amendments before resubmitting the page. It would help our volunteer reviewers by identifying, on the draft's talk page, the WP:THREE best sources that establish notability of the subject. It would also be helpful if you could please identify with specificity, exactly which criteria you believe the page meets (eg "I think the page now meets WP:ANYBIO criteria #3, because XXXXX"). You may also wish to leave a note for me on my talk page and I would be happy to reassess. Cabrils (talk) 06:29, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
Professor Kurunathan Ratnavelu graduated from the University of Malaya with a BSc (First Class Honors) and an MSc in Mathematics, later earning his PhD in Atomic Physics from Flinders University in 1985 on a Flinders Research Scholarship[1]. He advanced from lecturer in 1989 to professor by 2001. ZHis scholarly work, particularly in Theoretical Atomic Collision Processes[2] and positron-atom interactions, has earned him significant recognition, including the Malaysian Toray Science Foundation Science and Technology Award (2004) and the Young Scientist Award (Strategic Sector) by MOSTE (1996). He was elected Fellow of the Academy of Sciences Malaysia in 2005 and received Flinders University's Inaugural Distinguished Alumni Award in 2006.
Ratnavelu's research contributions include the optical potential method[1] for positron-hydrogen atom scattering and co-authoring significant work on anti-hydrogen formation with Jim Mitroy in 1995[3]. His academic influence extends through his roles as an associate editor for Malaysia's leading physics and science journals and as Honorary Secretary for both the Institut Fizik Malaysa and the Malaysian Mathematical Society since the 1990s.[4]
In administrative capacities, he served as Deputy Dean of Science at the University of Malaya from 2003 to 2006 and as acting Deputy Dean from 1999 to 2000, significantly contributing to the university's scientific and academic communities.[5]
