Warsame Ali
AfDs for this article:


 * – ( View AfD View log )

The 2009 AfD strangely closed as no consensus. There is no significant coverage and one of the keeps was based on his supposed major "role in the higher educational system of his country", but he is an assistant professor and it was stated in the first AfD that he co-founded a virtual university. The University of Gedo's website doesn't exist anymore and I doubt its notability as well. The two minor awards are unreferenced and they wouldn't show notability anyway.

 * Delete. I agree that it was bizarre that this BLP was not deleted last time. Lack of enough citations to pass WP:Prof or anything else. Xxanthippe (talk) 05:27, 20 February 2021 (UTC).
 * Delete - assistant professors are generally not notable under WP:NACADEMIC, and there's no indication that he's had the sort of substantial impact on his field that might qualify for notability under those criteria or the GNG. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 05:51, 20 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. By now he appears to be associate, not assistant. But tenure is not a WP:PROF criterion and he doesn't appear to pass any of the actual criteria. In particular his citation record, while respectable, isn't enough to convince me of #C1. —David Eppstein (talk) 07:12, 20 February 2021 (UTC)
