Delete I agree that Saleem is not a noteworthy person to be on Wikipedia. Joey Gallo (talk) 19:09, 19 June 2014 (UTC) pre-pended "* Delete" for clarity. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 21:18, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Please *keep.* Notability has been asserted. Saleem has received considerable media attention for his invention, Track'em, as the references in the article show.--Jpworth3rd (talk) 04:22, 21 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or Move to Draft for further work unless significant coverage of this person is found from reliable, independent sources during the course of this discussion. The bulk of the reliable, independent sources either talk about the company associated with this person or its products and services. Others talk about him but even together they do not provide significant coverage of him independent of his role with his company. The one reference that would be okay (Sas, Nick) is not independent enough to be used for a notability assessment, as this person is a former employee of that newspaper (the presumption is that a newspaper would be inclined to brag about its former employees but might not write an article about the same person under the same circumstances had he not been a former employee). I will not object to deletion but I prefer moving to Draft to give editors more time to find adequate references. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 21:09, 22 June 2014 (UTC) Updated davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 21:16, 22 June 2014 (UTC) Update: No objection to redirecting to Track'em per Lankiveil's recommendation below. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 03:59, 27 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment articles about this person's company have been created and deleted on multiple occasions: See Draft:Saleem (Company) and the deletion logs and AFDs of Saleem (Company) (AFD) and Saleem Technologies (AFD). An article about this person's company's primary product exists (Track'em) but it is in need of cleanup. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 21:09, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Track'em. There has been a significant amount of marketing material regarding this firm posted over the past few weeks under various titles, the vast majority of which is unsuitable for Wikipedia. The product may be notable, but the company and its founders clearly are not. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 09:05, 25 June 2014 (UTC).[reply]
