Iqbal Shailo, PhD

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Creator is edit warring over the BLP PROD and also over the article name with me and with User:Joseywales1961. I can't find any WP:RS about Shailo in a WP:BEFORE search. The sources cited are an article written by him and his own personal LinkedIn page, none of which confer notability. Creator claims to be a close friend of the subject of the article which explains their uncooperative behaviour. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 18:40, 13 June 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete - Promotional piece for non-notable person. --John B123 (talk) 18:49, 13 June 2021 (UTC)
 * I wish people would perform obvious page moves (such as removing the "PhD") before nominating articles for deletion, as there are always objections to doing so after they have been nominated, so we are left with discussing an obviously incorrect article title. Phil Bridger (talk) 19:19, 13 June 2021 (UTC)
 * , It has been moved, but the author moves it back - looks determined to keep the PhD bit! JW 1961 Talk 19:26, 13 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete Promotional, non-notable JW 1961 Talk 19:28, 13 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment - worth noting that the creator of the article has admitted to being the son of the article's subject, hence the promotional nature of the article. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 20:21, 13 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. Non-notable fails WP:Prof and GNG. Xxanthippe (talk) 22:26, 13 June 2021 (UTC).
 * Delete as per nom and everyone else. - Hatchens (talk) 01:34, 14 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fails PROF and GNG.-- Eostrix  (&#x1F989; hoot hoot&#x1F989;) 06:15, 14 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Strong delete This page is clearly only meant to promote this man… and he’s not even notable. Helen  (let’s talk) 21:34, 14 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete as a blatant copy-and-paste of . Fails WP:GNG, WP:AUTHOR and WP:PROF. XOR&#39;easter (talk) 21:28, 15 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete Non-notable person; fails via the many things everyone else has stated. Kind of absurdly funny. TheAnayalator (talk) 20:25, 17 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete per XOR'easter. With extreme prejudice, I might add. --DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:07, 18 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. The only hope of notability would seem to be WP:AUTHOR through the claim of writing multiple books. But writing books isn't enough; we need demonstrated impact (usually through multiple published reviews). In this case I couldn't even verify their existence, let alone find any reviews. —David Eppstein (talk) 23:26, 19 June 2021 (UTC)
