The result was Speedy deleted as copyvio. The text was on Amazon in connection with a book self-published through Amazon on Jan 4th 2012, which indicates that it predates this article. Peridon (talk) 21:38, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

I originally tagged this for a BLP Prod, but I honestly don't think there's a change of legitimate sources being added to this article (which is an autobiography). The reliable, independent sources that would satisfy WP:GNG or WP:BIO don't seem to be out there. A Google Books search for "mir ahmed navaid" turns up nothing but a book authored by the subject, while Google News and Google News archives searches turn up nothing. Given his academic background, I also checked Google Scholar, which also turns up nothing.

This is undoubtedly a bad sign for notability, and I believe this page qualifies for deletion on the basis of weak or nonexistent notability of the topic. Chris the Paleontologist (talk • contribs) 20:54, 29 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Speedy delete G12 as a copyright violation of this Amazon description. Even if Mir Ahmed Navaid wrote both the Amazon description and this article, he might have signed away the copyright to Amazon. And even if all the copyright issues somehow turn out to be ok, I couldn't find any sources indicating that he is notable. —  Mr. Stradivarius ♫ 21:08, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
