 * Delete. Neither his publication record nor his level of administrative service are enough for WP:PROF, and the article is more or less entirely unsourced, so WP:GNG also seems far out of reach. I was able to find at least three people named Rashid Ahmad who appear to have better citation records than this one, and in fact did not find any publications that were clearly by this one in searching for this author name in Google Scholar. There are also two people with this name in MathSciNet, one at Strathclyde who published 38 papers between 1978 and 2000, and another who has published only four papers in 2018–2019; neither appears to match the subject. And much of the content of the article makes me think that WP:NOTMEMORIAL is relevant. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:59, 6 February 2020 (UTC)
