Comment. Note that he also seems to have held a pretty senior position at the UN. -- Necrothesp (talk) 16:42, 3 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Strong delete The "first Pakistani to get a PHD from a particular program at a specific US university" is the type of ludicrous first that shows why we need to move away from allowing any articles for "first X to do Y".John Pack Lambert (talk) 06:18, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete It says he was the Acting Secretary General of the United Nations in 1993 and before that was in other important United Nations roles but I don't think that is true. See this list of actual Secretary General's of the UN does not include him. Also there is no mention of him on the internet doing any of the things it says in the article.

Note, the only reference says:

PHP Warning:  mysql_connect() [<a href='function.mysql-connect'>function.mysql-connect</a>]: Access denied for user 'nimweb12'@'iis02.ptcl.local' (using password: YES) in \\FSVS01\Website_I\nimlhr.gov.pk\www.nimlhr.gov.pk\Content\www\frmBridge.php on line 1631

Delete. The only thing that appears close to a claim of significance is the "acting secretary general" claim, and as Ilyina points out we have no sources (nor can Google find sources) for this. So this part fails WP:V and without it there is very little. —David Eppstein (talk) 01:26, 20 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
