Suleman Malik

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

A poorly sourced WP:BLP that appears to be an autobiography. Fails WP:PEOPLE: the subject of the article has accomplished some things that I'm sure are big deals to him (apparently a world record? unsourced, regardless), but are far from a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in his or her specific field.

It would require a complete rewrite to be fit for inclusion. Alan(E) 04:49, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete just looking at the initial language finds this; "...is a young I.T. prodigy from Pakistan...", which is a boldly self-promotional statement that makes claims reflective of the authors ideology and desires, not necessarily the public-at-large, thus failing WP:SELFPROMOTION. The claim to a "World Record" drops to YouTube, and is a non-reliable source.  Indeed, reads like a autobio.  Barada   wha?   [[Image:Face-devil-grin.svg|20px]] 05:10, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete and SALT I originally contested the CSD of this article (three speedy deletions ago, mind you) for copyright issues because there were no outright copyright issues. Since it is now up for AFD, and after reviewing the subject and the sources associated with it (of which there are none that aren't puff pieces or first party) I would agree with a delete, and salting it to prevent the person making it from recreating it for a 4th time. --Fbifriday (talk) 06:43, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete and SALT – This has gone on too long. I've CSD'd this multiple times only to see it deleted and then recreated a short time later. The guy clearly isn't notable. This has to stop. – TC N7  JM  04:03, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
 * SALT: As the above people have brought to my attention, this article has been created numerous times, which needs to be stopped. I'm updating my original argument to say that it should be salted, as well. Alan(E) 05:37, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
 * A related AFD is going at Articles for deletion/Extreme Secure Layer - one of the subject's inventions. Both articles are authored by the same single-purpose account. As per the current consensus, his product is also very non-notable. Alan(E) 05:37, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
