Yousuf Miah

 * – ( View AfD View log ) •

Declined speedy. Autobiography written by a local Conservative councillor in Northamptonshire, England about himself. Part of it is a copy and paste of the biography on this website, though I can't tell if it's a copyright violation or not. He appears to have done a lot in terms of his civic duty to his community, both in this country and in Bangladesh, but there's a huge lack of verifiable references for much of the information presented here, and what can be proven, isn't notable.  role player 02:27, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete, as someone who's had a hand in maintanance tagging the 2 previous attempts, and explaining to the user that they're really not supposed to be writing about themselves here. Hasteur (talk) 03:51, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete largely unverifiable puff piece by non-notable politician. If he continues to ignore warnings not to write vanity articles about himself then administrative action should be taken. Valenciano (talk) 04:52, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete, offices held aren't significant enough for an article in a general reference encyclopedia. NawlinWiki (talk) 04:57, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Note: I removed the speedy from the latest incarnation (an A7 not a G11 like one of the previous speedy deletions) as although I agree no single position would be enough to avoid speedy taken together I thought they were enough to suggest he may have received some significant coverage in the press as an important member of the community and that is enough to avoid speedy. I also had concerns that a simple google news search (which did return a few articles) may miss some articles in publications aimed at that community and so thought it best to have it brought here to see if anyone could find sources. I was thinking of starting an AfD this morning but I see someone beat me to it.  Dpmuk (talk) 10:46, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
