Dr. Saeed Bhutta

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Non-notable academic. Only one reference provided, that of his own university bio. Google turns up nothing else relevant. (Declined speedy.) - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 17:25, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete, unless the article is substantially improved. It's unfortunate that this went to AfD so quickly after creation, but as it stands, it fails to meet WP:RS, WP:PROF, and WP:BLP. The University of the Punjab web site seems broken, with little information on the subject, some discrepancies (he is listed as "Dr", but his qualification is given as M.A.), and with his article "Kafi: A Genre of Punjabi Poetry" apparently having been removed. Google finds nothing else. -- Radagast3 (talk) 22:34, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment: The lack of working references and total absence of relevant Google feedback, plus the decline of a speedy delete, is why we went directly to AfD so quickly. There was no indication that time would make this subject any more notable. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 04:36, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
 * In this case it seems the author did the wrong thing by removing the "speedy delete". The appropriate response would have been "hangon, I'm not finished." In the absence of new edits, we can only assume that the author is finished, and the article as it stands is a clear case for deletion. -- Radagast3 (talk) 04:50, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
 * To be clear, the speedy tag was not removed by the original author, which would violate WP policy. Another editor removed the speedy tag, as is his or her prerogative. The original author did nothing improper that I know of. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 05:36, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I apologise if I maligned anybody. Possibly I misread the history, which made it look like the SD tag had been added and removed twice. -- Radagast3 (talk) 05:48, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Now that I look a bit more closely at the history, it turns out the original author did remove the speedy tag once, but someone else reverted it. Gotta get new glasses, or go on to bed now. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 06:03, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

 * tentative Delete he might be notable, but without more information on just what his publications are and their significance, it is impossible to tell. His official cv is very incomplete:
 * Delete in the absence of evidence that he passes WP:PROF. —David Eppstein (talk) 02:47, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
