 * Delete. MathSciNet lists 17 publications for him, and checking the same titles in Google Scholar found citation counts of 64, 61, 33, 26, 18, ... for an h-index of 8. Mathematics in general is a low-citation field but numerical PDEs (his area) isn't, and this isn't enough to convince me of a pass of WP:PROF. In any case, most of the article is unsourced content about his administrative work, which as department chair is too low-level for WP:PROF (that's for heads of entire universities). I tried searching for better sources but it's made difficult by the commonness of his name and I didn't find much. In particular the in-depth sources at, , and appear to be about three different other people. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:28, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - Does not pass general notability guidelines. Also, good research by . Missvain (talk) 20:44, 21 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete What is in the article doesn't demonstrate notability, and I couldn't find much more about him beyond his PhD thesis.  He doesn't appear to be at Hazara U any more.  That he has a common name that he has transliterated in several different ways definitely makes it more difficult to search for him.  Comment that I suspect the Google Scholar profile found by David Eppstein to also be the wrong Muhammed Yousuf, as the subject of this article works in the history of math (rather than in numerical pdes).

 * Delete per WP:SIGCOV. Even if a professor has had a lot of citations, which I do not concede, but we can't find any reliable sources, then an article can't be created. Bearian (talk) 15:05, 27 January 2020 (UTC)
