Nek Muhammad Shaikh

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Apparently non-notable associate professor per WP:PROF. His papers don't appear to have many citations on Google Scholar, and he doesn't seem to meet any of the criteria in WP:NACADEMICS. Ahecht ( TALK PAGE ) 22:44, 10 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom, plus being a vanity article that fails even WP:GNG by being sourced only to the school website and a press release from the Higher Education Commission, Pakistan, with no coverage at all in independent sources. Thomas.W talk 20:49, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

These sources are officially from the school website and a press release from the Higher Education Commission, Pakistan. AloneMac User talk:AloneMac 21:09, 12 September 2014 (UTC)


 * He is scholar and professor of University of Sindh and a notable person of Sindh province of Pakistan. Azam_Gul 21:15, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete. No evidence of notability or of passing any of the WP:PROF criteria. Being a scholar and professor, having publications, getting grants, and making research presentations (the accomplishments listed in the article) are part of the stuff all professors do; they are not per se evidence of notability. —David Eppstein (talk) 02:50, 14 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete per David - and remember that notability isn't temporary. Should he eventually pass WP:PROFESSOR we can always re-create.  D u s t i *Let's talk!* 01:16, 17 September 2014 (UTC)
