I can find very few reliable sources to establish WP:GNG, with many of the references in this article not even alluding to the subject (Wiki page diffs are even used!). Fails GNG and WP:CRIN. StickyWicket (talk) 10:46, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please read WP:GNG, and find a number of sources that cover him in detail and are independent of both him and the organisations he represents. It is all well and good saying that he deserves a page, but we need proof that he has done all of this and is notable enough for doing so to require an article of his own. I have tidied a lot of the links referred to above, but as it stands, there is not enough in the article to show that it passes GNG. I have held off !voting, but I tend towards delete at the moment.

Delete Further to my comment above, I've made my mind up. The article does not demonstrate that it meets WP:GNG and Draft:Syed Sultan Shah was recently rejected at AfC for similar reasons. Spike 'em (talk) 09:09, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
