Unsourced BLP, individual does not appear to be notable. Sole claim to notability is that he publishes academic papers... like all professors do. This is also   S ven M anguard  19:10, 6 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete. Article makes no claims that would pass WP:PROF and I can't find anything elsewhere that would show notability. —David Eppstein (talk) 23:03, 17 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep I think the nominator has a good argument with respect to WP:PROF/C1, the usual handwavey h-index metrics don't seem to be met via Google Scholar in isolation.  However,  once some of the book authoring is taken into account, well, I think there's more to consider.  Worldcat, which generally focuses on English-language library holdings, notes a couple hundred copies (each) of two of this books in different libraries, a book he co-authored got a review in The Hindu here, another book reviewed at the Daily Times of Pakistan here, he's interviewed here .  I could couch this in WP:AUTHOR terms, but more generally I think there's some components of signficance in the academic papers, the books, and in commentary in the popular press, and that those sum to greater than our notability threshold.  --j⚛e deckertalk 17:46, 27 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Worldcat tells us nothing in this case because Pakistan is not part of the worldcat collective. Pakistani works don't make it in. Stuartyeates (talk) 08:02, 28 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Week keep as per the book reviews found by User:Joe Decker, suggesting he meets WP:Author. Stuartyeates (talk) 08:02, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep Besides satisfying WP:AUTHOR, he also passes Professor test as I find his works are cited in a number of academic publications (Clause 1) and as he has chaired a notable research institute (Clause 6).-- S M S  Talk 18:59, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Are you sure about WP:PROF? None of the highly cited papers for 'Cheema' match publications listed on the page. I suspect there's more than one person with a similar name. Stuartyeates (talk) 19:14, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
