 * Comment:"Hamza is also active as the Treasurer and Secretary of ISLAT, the International Society for Law and Technology." I have no idea how important ISLAT is, but this claim should be addressed before he is deemed non-notable. - Mgm|(talk) 08:27, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not notable as an academic per WP:ACADEMIC: there are few mentions of his research in googlescholar, googlebooks and WebOfScience and no evidence of substantial citability of his work. It is also not clear what kind of academic position he had at the University of Calgary (the reference given points to the main university website). I don't see enough in the article to pass WP:BIO either. Some references are problematic: e.g. the first reference is simply to the main website of his high-school, not to a source that actually discusses him. The "International Society for Law and Technology" itself does not appear to be notable, even by looking at their website. There is not much there and the list of conferences sponsired by them is empty. The reference given for his divorce case as a little strange too since it refers to a suit by IASTD and ISMM against both Hamza and his wife. In fact, given the otherwise marginal claim to notability, I think that this reference raises some BLP concerns as well here. All in all, delete. Nsk92 (talk) 20:31, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
