 * Comment. The question here is whether Sindh Madressatul Islam University counts as enough of a "major academic institution" for its vice-chancellor (the head of the entire university in the system used in Pakistan and other former-British-rule states) to be notable under WP:PROF. —David Eppstein (talk) 22:45, 21 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for comment. No, I don't think so as it was granted university status in 2012. So, not a major university. Störm   (talk)  09:40, 22 January 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep If it has university status where such is formally granted than yes it is major enough for its head to be notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:18, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep Sindh Madressatul Islam University is recognized by and affiliated with Higher Education Commission (Pakistan) – established in 1885. It has the founding father of Pakistan Muhammad Ali Jinnah, Hassan Ali Effendi and many other prominent Pakistani dignitaries among its alumni as an institution. It has over 100 year history behind its name. It was upgraded to university status from a college in 2012 but it is a highly-respected institution in Pakistan for historical reasons as well. For Muhammad Ali Shaikh to be a vice-chancellor there certainly makes him notable, in my view. Ngrewal1 (talk) 16:41, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
