Mahdi Amin

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Promotional article (especially the list of companies he has studied and people he has met) tagged for notability ever since it was created in 2014. The sources it cites don't stand up to scrutiny: -- Worldbruce (talk) 16:12, 15 June 2017 (UTC)
 * The bio from the business school where Amin was a PhD candidate and lecturer is not independent. Nor does it contain anything that would make him a notable academic.
 * The simultaneous announcements in The Daily Manab Zamin and Amar Desh are nearly word-for-word repetitions of a press release. That Tarique Rahman (a party politician who has never run for public office) appointed Amin his advisor on education and research does not make Amin a notable academic or politician.
 * Another article in The Daily Manab Zamin mentions Amin, among many other people, as coming from a politically well-connected family.
 * The Prothom Alo article about successful Bangladeshi students is the strongest source, containing an entire paragraph about Amin the student.
 * Amin co-edited and published a deferential book about his employer, Tarique Rahman, and scripted a short promotional film about Rahman (of the sort shown at political rallies and conventions). Six sources mention Amin in passing every time they cover an event where the book is being touted or the film is shown. He is not a notable writer, and the brief mentions don't make him notable.

 * Delete -- a glorified CV on a nn individual; copy includes: "Amin also scripted a 40-minute film promoting Rahman's life and accomplishments!" Etc. WP:PROMO which appears to have been created by someone with a close connection to the subject. Not notable in any of the areas listed. K.e.coffman (talk) 03:19, 3 July 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete fails BLPNOTE and NACADEMIC, lack of significant coverage in independent reliable sources. No awards, not a dean or department head. No significant publications. Only stated claim to notability is as the education and research adviser to the senior vice chair of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party Tarique Rahman. which doesn't cut it.  An inordinate number of the citations deaal with The Political Thought of Tariq Rahman.   --Bejnar (talk) 01:37, 8 July 2017 (UTC)
