S. A. H. Rizvi

 * – ( View AfD View log )

There is no indication of notability under either WP:PROF or the WP:GNG. Google scholar reveals a number of publications by someone named "SAH Rizvi", but they mostly seem to be a different person or persons. Sławomir Biały (talk) 11:59, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment at least some of the SAH Rizvi entries in Google scholar are him, for example: this paper in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science, India Google scholar normally shows initials without the periods.  I couldn't find enough information to show him notable, although perhaps someone more up on mathematics in India could.  Francis Bond (talk) 12:43, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
 * comment you can get what seems like a reasonable scholar search on this guy by limiting the subject to mathematics: like this. &mdash; alf.laylah.wa.laylah (talk) 13:15, 30 August 2011 (UTC)


 * delete seems to also have published under full name of Syed Aftab Husain Rizvi. has 11 articles listed on mathscinet. this database admittedly isn't ideal for historians of mathematics, but is a useful check on google scholar, which has its quirks. on scholar he has nothing with over 8 citations, and the ever popular h-index of 2. &mdash; alf.laylah.wa.laylah (talk) 12:52, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete for lack of evidence of passing WP:PROF. The subject of some of his studies, Ghulam Hussain Jaunpuri, might be worthy of a Wikipedia article (we don't seem to have one already) but Rizvi doesn't even seem to be the leading scholar on that specialized topic. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:59, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
