WP:N
Hello SouthernNights - I'd like your assistance in evaluating whether Asim Ijaz Khwaja meets the WP:N for WP:NPROF and whether Akmal Lewane meets the WP:N for WP:NPOET. Your input on their WP:N based on the relevant criteria would be appreciated. — Saqib (talk) 11:02, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
- I have only limited connectivity at the moment due to being on vacation in a rural area. When I get back in a few days I'll check the articles out. SouthernNights (talk) 14:40, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
- Sure - also please Rasul Bakhsh Rais. — Saqib (talk I contribs) 13:31, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
- It appears all three articles may not meet our notability standards. SouthernNights (talk) 13:28, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
- OK Thanks for your input. I've draftified two recently created bios, instead of taking them to AfD. This will give anyone interested a chance to help establish their WP:N. The third BLP was created long ago so might not be suitable for draftification so will be taken to AfD. — Saqib (talk I contribs) 13:50, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
- I did more digging and it's possible Akmal Lewane meets our notability guidelines. Part of the problem here is there are so few reliable citations in English. But it's likely there are more in other languages. SouthernNights (talk) 15:09, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
- OK. Maybe you would like to see this. @Fokket, the creator of Rasul Bakhsh Rais, said
. SouthernNights assessment is totally wrong
. I also agree with your assessment hence I draftified it, but they reverted my draftification. By the way, there is nothing significant or in-depth in local RS. I can vouch for this. — Saqib (talk I contribs) 15:16, 24 June 2024 (UTC)- My apology for messing up the analysis on Asim Ijaz Khwaja. I'm better at analyzing the potential notability of poets and writers than doing the same with academics. SouthernNights (talk) 18:53, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
- No issue. I thought you might have expertise in academic-related bios as well, which I must confess I struggle with. Anyway, may I ask on what basis you believe Akmal Lewane meets NPOET? — Saqib (talk I contribs) 06:27, 30 June 2024 (UTC)

Remove or reduce protection of Shakespeare authorship question
The page has quite low levels of traffic to get ECP. Remedy 1 is now gone making it now longer a contentious topic according to the ArbCom (correct me if I'm wrong) and most other pages in the area don’t even have semi. I think protection should at least be reduced to PC but semi would be fine too and you could also remove protection if you'd like. ArbCom might get in the way a bit though. CharlieEdited (talk) 02:28, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
- Fine with me. I ended most of the article's protection. SouthernNights (talk) 11:13, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
