Elsayed

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This article has been awaiting translation for more than two weeks. Prod contested on the grounds that it is not a valid reason for deletion, which goes against established policy (see WP:PNT and Template:Notenglish). Delete. --Blanchardb- Me • MyEars • MyMouth -timed 20:42, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. The Google translation doesn't indicate much notability.  Unfortunately, not reading Arabic, I can't do very efficient searches on him; the ones I have done don't show much promise.   Anturiaethwr  Talk  20:57, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete A self created bio of a non notable person. Created by a user named Elsayed amr. Upon using the Google Translator link above, this is a bio of a "Doctor of Civil Engineering" (possibly professor? I dunno. Google translator seems to translate as well as Babelfish: Just enough to get the point across). Of course this would have been easier if this article was in English. Seeing as this is the English Language Wikipedia, but even on the Arabic Wikipedia, he wouldn't be notable. Doc StrangeMailbox Logbook 22:08, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete fails the professor test. nneonneo talk 03:30, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Academics and educators-related deletion discussions.   —David Eppstein (talk) 18:27, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
 * delete as failing WP:PROF. If a bio for this person exists on the Arabic wikipedia, then speedy delete per CSD:A2. Pete.Hurd (talk) 20:05, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - fails the professor test (his own entry on the Vermont University website makes no mention of any publications, awards or recognition by anyone. Using his name in Arabic produced zero hits on Google, so there is no article about him on the Arabic Wikipedia, either (so no speedy delete for A2). --Cbdorsett (talk) 07:22, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. No clear indication of notability. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 13:37, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. No sources establishing notability (not too surprising, since his PhD is from Fall 2006: not many academics attain notability that rapidly after their PhD). --Crusio (talk) 17:26, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. To be honest I'm not sure why there isn't an option to speedy delete something like this.  This is the English language Wikipedia after all.   coccyx bloccyx  (toccyx)  20:21, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Reply. That's because there is already an established procedure to deal with stuff like this. This AfD, as a matter of fact, is the final step of that procedure, to be done only when all else fails. See WP:PNT, where, on an average day, two or three pages get listed, and some of them grow into valid articles. I'd be curious to know whether there are articles that currently have Featured status that were once listed at PNT. --Blanchardb- Me • MyEars • MyMouth -timed 22:12, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Maybe not featured status, but I have certainly seen a lot of good Start and B class articles arise from WP:PNT-listed articles. Even if it is the English WP, people sometimes post very good material in a foreign language. nneonneo talk 15:58, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete per CSD A2. Nsk92 (talk) 16:03, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
