WP:BLP of an academic, which makes a potentially valid claim of notability but fails to properly source it. The only reference anywhere in the entire article is not media coverage of him, but a PDF of a conference presentation by him — making it an invalid primary source right off the top, before you even take into account the fact that it while it verifies his existence it fails to actually confirm the information it's footnoting. There's also a lot of subjective and unencyclopedic language in here — the fact that his mother "would help all her neighbours", while lovely as it goes, has nothing to do with whether he belongs in an encyclopedia or not — which makes it remarkably unsurprising that the article was created by someone with "AUB" in their username (check again the name of the university the article subject is a faculty member at, and refer directly to WP:COI.) While he might be eligible to keep a Wikipedia article that was written and sourced properly, he doesn't get to keep this. Delete unless proper sourceability in reliable sources can be shown.

 * Delete per nom. Now, this article only serves as a CV. Further, in my evaluation, WP:ACADEMIC doesn't necessarily hold. Only criteria that may apply for him is 6. The person has held a highest-level elected or appointed academic post at a major academic institution or major academic society.. However, per note, the institute has to be major and significant. Asian University of Bangladesh only has minimal significance to warrant an article for its own, but not for its vice-chancellor(s). -- nafSadh did say 17:28, 8 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete Nom and nafSadh sum it up well. A vice chancellor, but at an ordinary, commonplace university. AUB is in no way a major or significant institution of higher education and research, so he does not meet criterion 6 of the professor test. Furthermore, searches of the usual Google types, HighBeam, and JSTOR turn up only an occassional passing mention (e.g. "was in attendance"), and a handful of articles he has authored with a small handful of citations of them. There is little verifiable information available, and nothing important to say about the subject, so a stand alone article is not warranted. Worldbruce (talk) 19:40, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
