Arfa Karim Randhawa
"[T]he youngest person ever to successfully pass the MCP exam". Not notable enough. Uppland 11:46, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Move, merge, rename and redirect as per Jerzy below. Uppland 21:05, 21 July 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete too trivial. There are tons of MCP's--I've known a few dozen myself, and their magazine claims readership of 996,000.  Being the youngest/oldest/fattest/tallest/shortest/etc among them is no big deal. Andrew Lenahan - St ar bli nd  13:02, July 21, 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to Microsoft Certified Professional. Would make a useful little addition to that page, however this page has little hope of being extended. Zeimusu | (Talk page) 14:35, July 21, 2005 (UTC)
 * Rename to Talk:Microsoft Certified Professional/Arfa Karim Randhawa, overwrite the resulting rdr into rdr to Microsoft Certified Professional, lk to the talk subpage from the talk page, and use the text as a source for a line or 'graph in MCP -- basically agreeing with Zeimusu. (Being the y'gest MCP at 9 is far different from being the y'gest MCP.) Keeping rdr is crucial. I got here after reading her new (and misplaced) entry on List of people by name: Ar, saying "not another damn bright kid", and coming to the article and then VfD to do my due diligence before trashing the entry. (I think i'm still going to do that, since LoPbN is for those who do or should have WP bios.) But she's getting press notice that IMO is substantial enuf for a footnote, and (besides helping a few users soon) the rdr to MCP will facilitate in various ways our becoming aware of any need to reconsider: assuming she doesn't burn out, and if & when she accomplishes something that manages to overcomes the inevitable suspicion that she got her MCP the way at least one South Asian grad student must have gotten their score on the TOEFL and their resulting North American graduate assistantship. IMO there's reason to hope she'll deserve a WP bio in 10-15 years, maybe sooner, and preservation of the text of this premature bio should both help us judge when it's time & give us a head start on writing the ready-for-prime-time bio. --Jerzy·t 20:33, 2005 July 21 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to Microsoft Certified Professional per Zeimusu; little chance of expansion. - Mgm|(talk) 21:08, July 21, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, per Starblind. There are nearly a million of them! -Splash 18:12, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete notability not established. JamesBurns 03:02, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete NN/Vanity. Trivial "achievement". --Ragib 23:31, 30 July 2005 (UTC)
