Speedy deletion of Salahuddin Ahmad
A tag has been placed on Salahuddin Ahmad 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 see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the article or have a copy emailed to you.

status & advice
As reviewing administrator, I think the subject obviously notable, and I of course removed the speedy. It would be well however if you added additional details and additional sources. I apologize on behalf of the encyclopedia for the editor who speedied the article only 2 minutes after the first version. Unfortunately, many people do that, inappropriate as it is--the only way of discouraging them is to place a tag saying {{underconstruction}] at the top of the article, which should be good for a few days. And do not add people to lists opf alumni, etc., until you have actually written the article.

I hope you'll continue to create articles. As a guide, any cabinet minister, present or past, is a suitable subject, a member of a national legislature also, and additionally a judge of supreme court of a country. DGG (talk) 16:13, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Apology
As the editor who nominated the article in the first instance, I feel that I should stop by and offer an apology, and an explanation.

I read through the article twice, and somehow missed the word "general" both times. I simply saw a 3 line article about an atorney in Bangladesh.

Article creations about utterly non-notable people (particularly non-notable professional people) in Wikipedia, usually by the person concerned, run at a pretty high rate, and I mistakenly saw one of these articles.

That most certainly doesn't excuse it. I do a lot of new page patrolling, and pride myself on being able to review an article rapidly AND accurately. Getting it wrong like this is rare, but any error like this is something that I regret deeply. Mayalld (talk) 21:41, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
