Nasim Yousaf
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log )

Really concerned about this - an independent researcher, mostly writing about his famous relatives, almost entirely published by a company that solicits authors/self-publishers. Next to nothing of note on GScholar/Gbooks except his own works & obscure other titles. Plenty at GSearch but most of it relates to self-published or obscure sites. I am treating the "D" of AfD here as "discussion". I really need more eyes on this one. Sitush (talk) 05:49, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Ah. Actually, I see that it is a recreated article. That should make life easier, but let's go through the process anyway. - Sitush (talk) 05:51, 28 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete. Notability cannot be inherited or derived automatically from "papers presented." If you hadn't nominated this, Sitush, I would have removed all those lists of papers etc. As it is, I removed all but one of the images (WP is not a gallery, and the book cover, for instance, is promotional and is probably not OK per fair use guidelines) and some of the linkspam (per WP:ELNO).

 * Delete, not notable, refs do not come anywhere near establishing notability. Hairhorn (talk) 18:18, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete The previous AfD was in 2006, so re-nominating it rather than speedily deleting as a re-creation is the proper procedure to follow. However, as far as I can see, this still does not meet WP:PROF or WP:AUTHOR. --Guillaume2303 (talk) 09:55, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
