Ashiq Hussain

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Looks a promotional profile. To me, it fails WP:GNG, WP:SIGCOV. Störm  (talk)  18:59, 11 April 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete There's no case for passing WP:PROF on his scientific accomplishments (perhaps three papers with decent citation numbers, but nothing outstanding for a high-cited field, and a near-total dropoff after that). I can't find anything that would substantiate a general wiki-notability pass either. Humdrum case of Wikipedia being (ab)used as a LinkedIn alternative.

 * DO NOT DELETE Dr. Hussain was the first neuroscientist to discover relation of Neurodegenerative diseases (Alzheimer, Parkinson, ALS) with olfactory system.     in the field of neuroscience    He has deciphered the neuronal interactions within the olfactory system for aging associated with neurodegeneration.  He is currently serving as Vice President in Molecular Health AG, a sister company of CureVac, that is working on the COVID-19 vaccine and the company that president Trump tried to buy. He is most relevant in today´s era of COVID-19. Dr. Hussain is world renowned figure in the field of healthcare and technology.
 * Dr. Hussain is a world renowned neuroscientist and VP at Molecular Health, sister company of CureVac that is making COVID-19 vaccine. President Trump tried to buy CuraVac, so is the importance of work that Dr. Hussain is leading now. Dr. Hussain is a powerful voice and authority on healthcare and COVID-19 in today´s world. I find even the suggestion to delete his page offensive and to some extent racist.

 * It is clear that the olfactory sensory pathway is pathologically affected in Alzheimer's disease, wrote Esiri and Wilcock in 1984. In comparison with closely matched controls, patients with Parkinson's disease had reduced scores in tests of odor detection and qualitative discrimination, wrote Ward, Hess, and Caine in 1983. So, no. XOR&#39;easter (talk) 15:51, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
 * It was a theory but was proven by Dr.Hussain — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2a02:908:521:2e40:b85f:f67:8ba9:543 (talk • contribs) — 2a02:908:521:2e40:b85f:f67:8ba9:543 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * It's not "a theory" when it was literally observed in clinical studies. XOR&#39;easter (talk) 01:52, 16 April 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete, The citation data in Google Scholar gives him the h-index of 4, which is low for any field, especially a field like neuroscience. Nothing else indicates passing WP:PROF on other grounds. Nsk92 (talk) 16:54, 12 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete and thanks to 2A02:908 for making the argument that much easier by providing us with a spurious, blatantly promotional argument with a bevy of sources that don't show how he meets WP:N or WP:NPROF. —A little blue Bori  v^_^v  Onward to 2020 19:11, 12 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete With only 3 first-author papers with a decent number of citations, does not meet WP:N or WP:NPROF Freeranging intellect (talk) 21:42, 12 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. Does not appear to meet WP:GNG or WP:NACADEMIC. Not enough third-party coverage to warrant a WP:BLP. -- Kinu t/c 01:54, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Does not meet NPROF. Promotional bio. Natureium (talk) 18:53, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete, does not prove notability, looks promotional. Alex-h (talk) 13:37, 14 April 2020 (UTC)


 * DO NOT DELETE Dr. Hussain was the FIRST scientist to investigate that Alzheimer, Parkinson and ALS first symptom is loss of olfactory senses. He is also a keynote speaker and writer in forbes in the digital healthcare and a media personality.


 * DO NOT DELETE Dr. Hussain was the FIRST scientist to discover the fear inducing receptors in humans (https://www.pnas.org/content/110/48/19579) that lead to the discovery of treatment for the neurodegenerative diseases.


 * DO NOT DELETE Dr. Hussain is not working in academia anymore so the point on citation and papers etc are NOT RELEVANT anymore, he is Vice President at Molecular Health (https://www.molecularhealth.com/en/2019/10/01/appointment-of-ashiq-khan/) and a leader on the development of the COVID-19 vaccine. thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2a02:908:521:2e40:b85f:f67:8ba9:543 (talk • contribs) — 2a02:908:521:2e40:b85f:f67:8ba9:543 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * You only need to say "do not delete" once; repeating it does not make your case stronger. Nor does recycling the same links we have already seen and found wanting. Your claim about "fear inducing receptors in humans" points to a study of zebrafish. As of today, 86 different COVID-19 vaccines are under development. XOR&#39;easter (talk) 01:52, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
 * I know and i am repeating because you are stuck with the papers and ignoring all other aspects of Dr. Hussain's contribution to society. May be there are 86 companies working on COVID-19 but how many are successful? only CureVac that is working under the leadership of Dr. Hussain. Fee free to delete the page because he is Muslim and you have Islamophobia but at least be reasonable or try at least. It a shame that the value of a scientist is decided by some `contributors to wikipedia´.
 * Drop the accusations of bigotry because his beliefs are not a factor in us arguing for deletion. And you're still not helping your case at all by repeating the same useless argument that has been rejected as against policy in more ways than one. I think it's time to ask: What is your relationship with Hussain? —A little blue Bori  v^_^v  Onward to 2020 19:15, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
