Résumé-like WP:BLP of an engineer, not properly sourced as clearing our notability standards for engineers. The references here are his own résumé in a Dropbox account and the self-published website of an organization he's directly affiliated with, not reliable source coverage that would establish his notability -- and while there are awards listed in the infobox (but not addressed in the body text), every award that exists is not always an automatic free pass over WP:ANYBIO: even an award still counts as a notability claim only to the extent that the award itself can be reliably sourced as a notable one, and people are not exempted from having to have any non-primary sourcing just because the article has the word "award" in it. Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt Saffa Riffat from having to have much better sources than this. Bearcat (talk) 18:51, 16 September 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep Manually adding up his GS citations gives an h-index of 45, which in any field is enough for WP:PROF. Being a Fellow of the CIBSE and the IMechE, as well as a member of the European Academy of Sciences also looks like it's enough for WP:PROF. The "news" search linked above retrieves a decent mix of items reporting on his work . XOR&#39;easter (talk) 19:53, 16 September 2019 (UTC)
