Non-notable engineer whose notability is not established via reliable third party references. The article is a vanity autobiography created by the subject himself using the account. The article was on prod, but the subject objected saying: ''I want to keep my page in wikipedia as my biography is being published in who's who in America and who's who in the world. I want to tell about my contribution. So, I will appreciate if wikipedia authority does not delete my page''.

The subject claims his own notability based solely on listing in Who's Who. However, there is virtually no Google hits for the subject outside of Wikipedia mirrors and social network profiles. It is claimed that the subject had a lead role in a few NASA projects. However, this claim is not backed by any references. The user Stdsac keeps adding links to a scanned NASA call for proposals, however the section he cites has no mention of the subject. Ragib (talk) 16:55, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Strong Delete as per WP:V and therefore WP:N. The subject himself is the creator of this article and he admitted that fact. Thus, a clear case of WP:COI too. -- Niaz  (Talk •  Contribs)  10:48, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
