Deletion of page Naeem "Nick" Noorani
Hi, thanks for message. I deleted your article because
 * it did not provide adequate independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. Although you gave some references, the text was largely unsourced, or sourced to your own sites. For example, the claimed accolades are referenced only to your web site, not an independent source.
 * little-known... self-proclaimed...&mdash;doesn't suggest notability, you can't decide yourself you are notable
 * it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. Examples of unsourced claims presented as fact include: authority on improving immigrant outcomes... "powerful voice" for the successful integration... has no current emotional ties with his country of birth... He is also known... Nick created Canada's first national recognition of immigrant contributions to Canada... His speeches are biased in his experiences as an Indian and he proudly badges himself as having no Indian friends...
 * See WP:Autobiography. You have an obvious conflict of interest when it comes to editing articles about this subject. If, after reading the information about notability linked above, you still believe that you are notable enough for a Wikipedia article (and that there is significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources), you could, if you wish, post a request at Requested articles for the article to be created. See also Best practices for editors with conflicts of interest.

The article is very poorly referenced and lacking in neutrality and encyclopaedic tone, but if you like I can sandbox the text for you to improve in user space Jimfbleak - talk to me?  07:20, 22 February 2015 (UTC)

Thanks Jim, appreciate your inputs. I would appreciate your sanboxing so I can work on complying with Wikipedia requirements. As I am looking at what you are quoting, I realise I have not written that stuff! For example: has no current emotional ties with his country of birth... He is also known... Nick created Canada's first national recognition of immigrant contributions to Canada... His speeches are biased in his experiences as an Indian and he proudly badges himself as having no Indian friends... I did not set up this page – I just saw it one fine day. Occasionally, I would update what I was doing but never paid much attention to the details mostly because of a hectic travel schedule. On eligibility for being listed on Wikipedia, here are some links that directly reference me: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Immigrant Founder Canadian Immigrant Magazine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permanent_residency_in_Canada (see Further reading referencing my book) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada_Permanent_Resident_Card (see Further reading referencing my book) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_to_Canada (see Guides referencing my book) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bibliography_of_Canada (see Immigration referencing my book) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_nationality_law (see Further reading referencing my book)

 * I've seen this message, but iot will be the morning (here) before I get time to reply Jimfbleak - talk to me?  18:02, 22 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm not suggesting that you are responsible for all the faults with the article, but it is judged as a whole. Note that the links above do nothing to to support your claim of notability. Wikipedia is not an independent verifiable source, and the existence of your books prove only that they exist, not that they or you are notable. That doesn't mean that you are not notable, simply that you need proper third-party sources, as defined in the link, that mention you or your books, not Wikipedia articles, social media, blogs or your own publications. I'll post the deleted text here soon for you to work on. Jimfbleak - talk to me?  06:43, 23 February 2015 (UTC)
