Shamsuddin H. Rahimtoola

The article was tagged A7 for speedy deletion (not by me, although I was involved in the SPI). The administrator declined the A7 because of the lifetime achievement award. I left a detailed message on the Talk page of the article demonstrating I believe that the Rahimtoola who was awarded a lifetime achievement award in 2013 was a different doctor with the same last name. For those who want to follow the evidence, it is still of course on the Talk page. The same administrator said that my investigation was too complicated for CSD and suggested AfD. So, here I am. I don't see anything else in the article that confers notability, but I haven't researched the issue and prefer to let the community decide. Bbb23 (talk) 23:17, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete mostly unsourced puffery on a minor academic by a blocked sockpuppeteer WP:SPA whose sole task seems to be creating under-referenced hagiographies like this on members of one family: see also Jafar Rahimtoola, Razia J. Rahimtoola. I tried cleaning this one up, but it fails WP:ACADEMIC. OnionRing (talk) 05:27, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
