Talk:Imraan Faruque

more habits
I recall reading a newspaper article on this guy once that described some of his other habits, does anyone have this? (GoAirForce 19:58, 23 May 2007 (UTC))

The newspaper you are referring to was likely the Collegiate Times, Virginia Tech's newspaper. I think they list back-issues on the website, but they've had server issues when there were too many hits from the tragedy. The site is back up. There are a couple of weasel words in this article.

 * I know this is an old thread, but I've personally met this guy a few times. He does indeed have some odd habits, but I can't find any outside sources on the matter. Wikiwikikid (talk) 19:56, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

article for deletion
I have placed a request for the deletion of this article. Upon closer look, this seems to be more like a user page of a current student--sort of like a prank. gnusbiz (talk) 00:02, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

From my response on the AFD page: (included here for completeness) Sorry, I started this page as a class assignment about collaborative online works. We were supposed to add a brief about a regional landmark, celebrity, or icon to Wikipedia. I actually met Imraan once on his pogo stick back when he was a student, then I read about his training schedule in the CT (this is our local newspaper). I tried to add a link to that news article to the page, but I added other links instead. I'm sorry if it was hard to read, but the article is neither a user page nor a prank. Thank you to all the editors after me that helped improve it, I thought they made it better. I would revise it to make it easier to read but it made sense to me when I wrote it. I don't know how to prove that he is no longer a student, perhaps VT graduation records?? I didn't want to add him to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Virginia_Tech_alumni. In any event, even if he was, I don't see how that disqualifies his contributions to the UAV field. Upon closer look, I hope you and other editors find it valuable, since it's not a prank but rather a serious article about a town icon. (GoAirForce (talk) 04:49, 2 May 2008 (UTC))

Human Powered Flight Group?
Hi, is Imraan a founder of the RAeS Human Powered Flight Group or some other body? Just checking. If the RAeS, then link should be changed to reflect updated name, thanks! Simon Grant (talk) 12:10, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
