I think it would be highly unfair to even include this article for deletion. It would be a great disservice to the very cause for which Wikipedia stands. I have read the Wikipedia:Notability (academics) criteria and I strongly feel that he meets not just one, which is the minimum required, but at least three or four--- no 1, 4, 5, and 6. Dr K M Tiwary retired as the Professor and head of the department of English of Patna University in early nineties. After that he has been working as the professor in various universities in Yemen till date, some reference for which has been given in the article. He also had worked as a professor in Some university in Iraq in the early part of his career, though this is not mentioned in the article. The very fact he has worked as a professor not just in a reputed university in India but has still been working (he must be nearing 80 now) in a university in Taiz in Yemen, that some of his articles published in international journals and his books are being quoted by the linguists the world over (the reference for which are available in the article) should be enough to close this discussion.
