Dr. M. Abdus Sobhan

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Does not satisfy academic notability or biographical notability as written.

Reads like a resume.

This article was moved to draft space as inadequately sourced, but was then moved back to mainspace by the author. Draftifying is not a valid option because it has been considered. Robert McClenon (talk) 15:25, 8 August 2017 (UTC)

 * It also duplicates M Abdus Sobhan. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 15:40, 8 August 2017 (UTC)
 * They are about the same person yet have very different info and sources. Strange that the new one has nothing about being vice chancellor of Rajshahi University. ArcticDragonfly (talk) 16:33, 8 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes I think the new one may conflate his role at Rajshahi with that of Prime University, which does still claim he's their vice-chancellor. The whole thing's a mess. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 17:57, 8 August 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete: per WP:COPYPASTE. It is a CV. Copyvio got 84% confidence when analyzing his CV in the sources.ArcticDragonfly (talk) 15:44, 8 August 2017 (UTC)

 * , lists of facts are not copyrightable unless they are selectively or creatively compiled. I don't see enough creative content in the page for there to be any copyright concern; do you? Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 10:32, 10 August 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete and redirect to M Abdus Sobhan, a much better article on (I think) the same subject that appears to establish notability for him. It appears from the page history that this was already tried but that undid the move at the request of  in order to let the AfD run its course. (AA and J, please correct me if I have misinterpreted.) —David Eppstein (talk) 06:57, 9 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete and do not redirect. This is indeed a mess, and mostly my fault. I did not see the existing article at M Abdus Sobhan, so moved this (then) unreferenced BLP to draft instead of immediately nominating it as A10 as I should have done. I believe it is still eligible under that criterion, and that this could be speedily closed. Quite separately, I asked for the move of this page to M. Abdus Sobhan to be undone because we don't move pages during an AfD. This title is not a plausible redirect, so should be deleted; M Abdus Sobhan should be moved to M. Abdus Sobhan; and we should all get on with something else. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 07:36, 9 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Page Dr. M. Abdus Sobhan has incoming links from ordinary articles. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 08:26, 9 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Fixed those three. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 10:25, 10 August 2017 (UTC)
