remove coi tag[edit]

(remove coi tag – because of following reasons: elapsed since its creation, interlinks of the article, references, google books and news archive searches find at least enough potential notability to mean that this shouldn't be tagged anymore)Hashemi1971 (talk) 01:28, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The issue in COI is generally neutrality, not notability. It's been a while since there's been a COI edit... so I've replaced only the NPOV tag, which you removed without comment. Hairhorn (talk) 02:32, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Removed npov tag since the encyclopedic content seems to be written from a neutral point of view – note the following reasons: different contributors and IP addresses, confirmed from IP locator, verifiability, general references esp 30 and 31, internal links and inline citationsSyednoor71 (talk) 09:10, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't consider the text neutral at all; counting up IPs and references does little to determine whether a text is neutral or not. I've done a preliminary rewrite rather than simply put the tag back. But it still needs work from someone who knows the field. Hairhorn (talk) 20:40, 1 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Stamps[edit]

Is this person a stamp collector? The tropical stamp collecting page lists, under further reading, various articles he has written on health related stamps as well as others. Need confirmation if he actually wrote them as there is no mention of it in his page and only on the other page. The Wiki link does point to this page however. Rzafar (talk) 06:21, 4 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There is already a wiki link Medical Stamps on this page under heading "see also". However, you can further improve Hashemi1971 (talk) 12:08, 4 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Article cut back[edit]

I have fairly extensively trimmed this article as it was ludicrously overblown. This article would be better with less detail and more focus on the important points about this man so that we can see the wood for the trees. Philafrenzy (talk) 23:39, 22 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed that this article has been improved a lot. Consensus could be made to remove all tag. It completely does not look like a resume of a living person. Hashemi1971 (talk) 13:15, 22 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Seriously doubt as to this individual being a noteworthy subject.[edit]

Please, someone with experience in Wikipedia, raise this as an article for deletion. If further individuals of this limited national and international scientific stature begin bringing forward articles, every entry level scientist in the developing world will be expected to have an article, further diminishing the overall impact of Wikipedia as an encyclopedia (as opposed to a tool for self-promotion), and adding to the already tremendous burden of maintaining articles on truly notable scientists, in South Asia and in general. For goodness sake, there are Harvard scientists that are discussed annually for the Nobel, that have less current coverage, and shorter presented award lists!
