Jawad Pasha

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

While this man's health problems are definitely tragic, not every person in a persistent vegetative state is ipso facto notable. There is no evidence that this case is exceedingly controversial or otherwise well-known, in the manner of Terri Schiavo or Sunny Von Bulow. The claim to notability is that this man is among the "world's best maintained patients." Aside from the nebulous nature of this claim, the only sources appear to be blogs and discussion groups. I realize that a regional bias may be at play here; however, even given the relative difficulty of obtaining sources regarding Pakistan, I think more evidence is needed than is present here. Delete.

 * Delete - No coverage in reliable sources. The two sources in the article aren't reliable.  The first is a blog which makes it already dubious as a source, but the reference to Pasha is actually in the blog comments by somebody claiming to be Pasha's father.  The second is internet forum postings by a person with the same name as the person leaving the comment in the blog.  I also found more of teh same in my own searches for reliable sources.  Accepting the claim that the person is the father, it seems all we have are a bunch of posts from the person's father with no notice of this being taken by reliable sources. -- Whpq (talk) 16:40, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
