The subject lacks notability for WP:ACADEMIC Divide et Impera (talk) 02:16, 27 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment I normally stay away from AfD debates on academics. However, I am concerned about systemic bias when dealing with a third-world academic whose specialty is cholera. That's not a current mainstream interest, I suspect, of western medicine.  Accordingly, I ask that editors who have expertise in evaluating the notability of academics take a careful look at this article.  Is this possibly a case where ignore all rules might apply?

 * We don't have to ignore the rules. It passes the rules by miles. Xxanthippe (talk) 01:39, 28 August 2011 (UTC).
 * Keep per analysis by Xxanthippe, In ictu oculi, David Eppstein, Nsk92 and Lambiam. Thank you for reassuring me that my "hunch" was well-informed and correct.  Cullen 328   Let's discuss it  06:08, 28 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep a couple of minutes of casual clicking indicated clearly notable, just a bad attempt at starting an article, not even a ref footer or DEFAULTSORT. Added material from book on superbugs establishing primary notability. In ictu oculi (talk) 12:08, 27 August 2011 (UTC) (suggest move to Shah Faruque.)
 * I've moved the article to Shah M. Faruque, which appears to be the form used most often. --Lambiam 19:05, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep. I find a GS h-index of 35, excellent for even a highly cited field and a stunning pass of WP:Prof, also appears to pass WP:Prof and WP:Prof. Incomprehensible nomination. Xxanthippe (talk) 22:46, 27 August 2011 (UTC).

 * Keep. I'm not sure of the significance of the TWAS award, but the pass of both WP:PROF and #C3 appears clear enough. —David Eppstein (talk) 00:35, 28 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. Fellow of a national academy of sciences, TWAS award, high citability - certainly enough to WP:PROF. Nsk92 (talk) 01:34, 28 August 2011 (UTC)
