This article focuses on the company MadMax and the subject's charity. Several of the sources used do not cite this person by name, and I could not find any more in my own search. IMO does not pass WP:GNG. Some of the content could probably be merged into Cricket for a Cause. Mbdfar (talk) 13:25, 1 May 2021 (UTC)

The articles can’t be merged with cricket for a cause. That has been run by other people now, and the reddit articles do not explicitly reveal his name, however, it has been confirmed in now deleted posts. This can be verified on wall street bets or the gme sub reddit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Afridi2016 (talk • contribs)
 * Reddit is not a reliable source and can't be used to establish notability. Mbdfar (talk) 16:55, 1 May 2021 (UTC)

@mbdfar saying to merge the page with the charities is not a good idea. The charity is registered entity in the UAE. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Afridi2016 (talk • contribs)
 * I just meant the "Charity Work" section. "He is also known for starting Cricket for a Cause in Dubai, and has raised over $50,000 for children in developing countries. [8] He claimed the inspiration came to him after visiting developing countries, and seeing how children his age did not have access to a basic education[9]." could probably be reworded and merged.

 * And what about his project at kansas university? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Afridi2016 (talk • contribs)
 * Seems irrelevant. Looks like his homework. It shouldn't be merged anywhere. Mbdfar (talk) 17:26, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Its a research paper used in a MBA case study. Not homework. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Afridi2016 (talk • contribs)
 * Nowhere in that reference does it say it was citied in any case study. Even if it did, the subject still wouldn't pass WP:ACADEMIC. Hell, it could a report done by a totally different person with the same name. That claim needs another independent source regardless. Mbdfar (talk) 18:53, 1 May 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Comment; Sources not mentioning the subject or his alleged Reddit alias have been removed. This leaves a college website profile page, a meme he posted on reddit, two articles on Cricket for a Cause, and one in depth interview about his experiences at college. Non-notable.

 * Delete No WP:RS and not WP:GNG. Reads like a promotional column. -- DaxServer (talk) 16:24, 11 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete As per DaxServer. MrsSnoozyTurtle 00:38, 15 May 2021 (UTC)
