 * delete I failed to find any independent in-depth coverage and hardly a notable professor. Loew Galitz (talk) 21:36, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete. Assistant profs rarely meet NPROF, and his early-career-level Scopus citation profile supports this (h-index of ~12, and he's only a middle author out of hundreds on each of his highest-cited papers). JoelleJay (talk) 04:04, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
 * h-index is 16 and over 3000 citations in the last few years. The impact of surgical research especially in Africa is notable and the genetic research has added to pediatric surgery — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pianzaco (talk • contribs) 19:24, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
 * the Bio is compliant with Notability_(academics) criteria in points 1,2 and 3. The research he clearly contributed to had great impact on Surgery and Africa with over 3000 citations proven by Google Scholar and WOS. He was awarded on a national level in 2017, 2018 and 2019. The link to the award was added. He is an active member and contributor to 3+ major surgical societies, charities and country lead for 6 international research projects. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pianzaco (talk • contribs) 07:29, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete. He's a member of a large research cooperative that publishes notable (and very highly coauthored) papers, but there's no sign that his contributions here are especially notable.  The university level awards I see in the article are far short of WP:NPROF C2.  No sign of fellowship in academic society meeting WP:NPROF C3; it would be shocking if an assistant professor held such a fellowship.  He may eventually reach notability, but it looks quite a bit WP:TOOSOON for now. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 09:44, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete - not enough in-depth coverage to pass WP:GNG, and he doesn't meet WP:NSCHOLAR.  Onel 5969  TT me 16:29, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
 * After checking, he will reach Professor tenure in 2 months, so perhaps not WP:TOOSOON. He is a member of MANY large research cooperatives that have published and impacted Surgery outcomes, not just one collaborative. Most coverage is from verified sources not google news. Most google news coverage is in arabic, all research sources are in english — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pianzaco (talk • contribs) 17:04, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
 * @Pianzaco can you provide some examples of Arabic coverage directly of him that are reliable, independent, and go into depth on his research? JoelleJay (talk) 17:17, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
 * @JoelleJay added a few citations from Youm7 arabic news. Searching for more — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pianzaco (talk • contribs) 20:07, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete seems like WP:TOOSOON to meet WP:NPROF. Much seems to be about work done as part of larger groups, and it's unclear how the individual is notable. -Kj cheetham (talk) 22:10, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep, Doctor research and collaboration through groups has impatced genetic and outcomes in surgery in Africa , especially in tough times as COVID-19 pandemic -Pianzaco (talk) 16:10, 13 January 2022 (UTC) — Note to closing admin: Pianzaco (talk • contribs) is the creator of the page that is the subject of this AfD.
 * Delete. And note this is likely spam. MarioGom (talk) 13:17, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep, may I ask what is likely spam? What more references are needed to show the importance of the Doctor for his institution/country? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pianzaco (talk • contribs) 19:23, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Kindly note that you are only allowed one "AFD recommendation" per deletion discussion. Kindly see WP:GAFD. Princess of Ara  20:59, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
