Doesn't seem very notable and from the edit history looks like self promotion. WOSlinker (talk) 21:41, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - Based on the article starter's user name, this appears to be an autobiography by a single-purpose account (writing about himself and his school). The edits of checked out by editors other than the article's subject/author consist of either formatting clean-up or vandalism. Although the subject does have media coverage in multiple articles, I think the presumption should weigh very, very heavily toward deletion of autobios. If a person is notable, someone else will create an article on him/her eventually. In the event the result is Keep, the article should be overhauled to remove the self-promotional tone and make it look less like a resumé. --JamesAM (talk) 01:10, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete Does not meet the Wikipedia nobility standards based on the sources presented. The book written about Rashid noted that it used Wikipedia as one of its major sources.--CHASEMOON (talk) 14:13, 4 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete no impact apparent. Xxanthippe (talk) 22:47, 4 July 2011 (UTC).
