Professor Syed Ali Akbar[edit]

Bio of a professor. 'Sources' include an obituary and his own personal diary. Notability shaky at best. Delete as vanity/obituary.--InShaneee 23:18, 30 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - seems notable, at least in Hyderabad. Help counter the systemic bias in Wikipedia.--Ezeu 23:34, 30 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- My Residence Hall Director is pretty notable in Rock Island. He started a program to recycle old computers for environmental reasons. Everyone for 15 miles who reads a newspaper knows...do you see where I'm going here? --InShaneee 23:41, 30 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and cleanup mostly wikify. Notable Pakistani professor with three books to his credit. People who receive an obituary are often notable and this appears to be the case here. Capitalistroadster 23:45, 30 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. This is clearly a copyvio. I wish people would do some rudimentary research before a knee jerk keep vote, such as, oh I don't know, following the links provided by the anon editor... Gamaliel 23:54, 30 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
