I see no indication of notability here. I've removed some obvious spam from the article, but the rest isn't much better. Claims to fame aren't sourced to secondary sources that cite the person's work--it's all primary, hence resume-style referencing. There's one possible claim to fame for GNG purposes, this "Young Scientist Research Award", but it's unsourced and its notability is questionable. Check this Google search, for "Young Scientist Research Award" "Syed Arshad Hussain", and you'll find no reliable secondary sources; you will find that this subject is more adept at setting up websites than most other academics, but recognition for academic work is lacking.

 * Delete per nom. Gscholar h-index of 4 is far below the bar for physics or biology, and I see no other basis for claiming notability (young scientists' prizes, like student prizes, are usually insufficient). Ray  Talk 18:00, 28 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete and salt. Fails WP:Prof (again). Xxanthippe (talk) 22:14, 28 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete per Nom, but do not Salt -- reevaluating a scholar after 5 or 6 years is not too much of a burden and a lot can change in that time. If the page gets recreated quickly, then we can talk about salting. -- Michael Scott Cuthbert (talk) 06:31, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete. THe awards do not seem significant enough for this to rise above the usual presumption that assistant professors do not yet pass WP:PROF. —David Eppstein (talk) 04:03, 3 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete Does not meet WP:ACADEMIC. Mkdw talk 06:03, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
