Speedy deletion nomination of Waseem Ahmed (Pakistan)


A tag has been placed on Waseem Ahmed (Pakistan) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Ruby  Murray  18:33, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

Status and Advice

 * you asked about rules. See WP:Notability and WP:Autobiography (which I suppose may likely apply)  DGG ( talk ) 19:19, 16 April 2014 (UTC)
 * you asked me for further details:
 * Two reasons for deletion: first, nothing that might possibly indicate encyclopedic importance is indicated by the article--he worked as a waiter and barista; he became manager of the bar in a restaurant; he worked a a customer relations manager for a local franchise; he studied in a university for 2 years; he joined a management consulting firm owned by his older brother. None of this is material of any encyclopedic interest--it is good material for his facebook page, but nobody except his family and friends would look for it, and not even they would look for it in an encyclopedia. Second, it is written in the style of a job resume--that is, a promotional style designed to show his capabilities. It's not that bad asa resume, but the purpose of such a work is to prote the person;s skills, and encyclopedias do not do that.When he becomes notable in business or otherwise, and multiple third party reliable  published sources write about him, then there will be the possibility of an article in an encyclopedia.
