Iraqi academic with no evidence of notability. Seems to be a WP:COI with SPA User:Science flag. According to that user's talk page someone tried to speedy the article when first created but I can't see where that happened. A Template:notability tag was removed by an IP within an hour of being added. Le Deluge (talk) 00:00, 9 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete. Zero in GS. Xxanthippe (talk) 00:43, 9 March 2013 (UTC).
 * Delete for lack of evidence of passing WP:PROF. The promotional pattern of editing by a single-purpose account (e.g. placing the article in inappropriately broad and high-visibility categories) is also not a good sign. —David Eppstein (talk) 04:59, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete' per David Eppstein -- alas, I want more articles on Iraqi academics and am willing to consider a lower bar to notability based on the difficulty of accessing sources, but zero Worldcat sources makes me believe this article's subject would have little notability to an Iraqi researcher as well. -- Michael Scott Cuthbert (talk) 03:11, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
