 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep, weak-ish, but still. The nominator is correct that the article looked like a copy of a CV. I removed most of the promotional and unverified info. Citability in GScholar is decent but not stellar for a high citation field, with an h-index of 20. He was indeed an editor-in-chief of a legit journal published by the American Society of Civil Engineers. I added a ref for that. Could be sufficient for WP:PROF, although I am not sure how important the journal is (it is indexed in Scopus and in WebOfScience, and has impact factor of 3.269 in the latter). He also received an award in 2016 from the American Institute of Constructors. I added a ref for that too. Overall, seems to be enough here to satisfy WP:PROF. Nsk92 (talk) 23:06, 7 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep per Nsk92 above. Thanks you for removing WP:PROMO. I think Ahmad passes WP:PROF due to citations and serving as editor-in-chief. Thsmi002 (talk) 14:12, 8 August 2019 (UTC)
