 * Delete I don't think there are many professors of Horticulture that are worth featuring on wikipedia. Nergaal (talk) 02:24, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
 * We are discussing one particular professor here, not some strange notion that professors of horticulture are somehow less notable as a class than other professors. Phil Bridger (talk) 12:54, 13 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep. Clearly passes WP:PROF criterion 6 as a university vice chancellor. Phil Bridger (talk) 12:54, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Crit 6 says "at a major academic institution or major academic society".Yes, the university has 10k students, but that does not seem to be outstanding by Pakistan's standards (1.35 mil post-secondary enrollment). While agriculture I would assume to be important in Pakistan, I don't see why a one of the 7 vice-chancellors at an agricultural university in a country not necessarily known for universities (even if English is an official language there) would be notable. And yes, professors of horticulture are less known than those that do research in a field where Noble prizes are actually won. I don't think he would even be eligible for Physiology and Medicine if he solved the all the famine problems of the world (but for Peace yes). Nergaal (talk) 01:48, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Where do you get the information that he is one of seven vice chancellors? In the English system inherited by Pakistan the vice chancellor is the top non-figurehead job in a university, so it would be very unusual for there to be more than one, and the sources in the article identfy the subject as the vice chancellor, not a vice chancellor. Phil Bridger (talk) 11:01, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I thought that he is the VC for the Faculty of Agriculture, not for the University of A. Keep then. Nergaal (talk) 22:42, 14 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep on the basis of WP:Prof. Xxanthippe (talk) 05:33, 14 October 2010 (UTC).
 * Keep concur with XXantahippe and Phil Bridger's reasoning. Sailsbystars (talk) 15:56, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
