Little evidence of NPROF: citation record is wholly inadequate, and student awards don't count for much. There is some human-interest type coverage in conjunction with an ancient whale he was involved in studying, but I think that it is at best a WP:BLP1E, with coverage all around Aug/Sep 2023.

  • Delete. "pursuing a Ph.D. ... at Oklahoma State University", so he's not there yet. Maybe some time in the future. Athel cb (talk) 16:36, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I'll add a comment here, though I still think it's too soon. In some countries (Chile, for example, which I know far better than I know Egypt) it's not unusual to advance a long way in one's research career, and even acquire an international reputation, well before finishing one's doctorate. Getting a doctorate takes a long time, because unless one comes from a wealthy family one needs to work almost full-time as a university teacher at the same time. I don't know how much, if at all, that applies to Abdullah Gohar. Athel cb (talk) 09:46, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: How notable are the awards listed? Oaktree b (talk) 19:26, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Not very. They are discussed here [1]. One is for "Student fieldwork in vertebrate paleontology", the other "To enable scientists from economically developing nations to present research at the SVP Annual Meeting". Russ Woodroofe (talk) 21:05, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete -- Athel cb's comments are very important to take into account. (in music, a lot of significant performers get their doctorates much later when they are financially secure enough to take the time off after their careers have already passed a notability stage), but typically the recognition of prior work + recent studies pays off in the form of indepedent coverage, and I'm not seeing it here. -- Michael Scott Asato Cuthbert (talk) 10:22, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per WP:PROF - thesis was less than 3 years ago - and WP:TOOSOON applies. Bearian (talk) 14:39, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: I'm skeptical of why? What is WP:NPROF if the individual's research has appeared on a notable coverage which i can see through ABC news. I don't know how notable is the award, but it seems to be from a notable academy or institution which meets the policies and guidelines. Though it looks like TOOSOON, do deletion appy here?
