An overly promotional biography on a non-notable assistant professor of chemistry. No real evidence that he passes WP:PROF. Total claimed publication count is 26, and highest citation count (according to Web of Science) is 4, 2, 1. Other main claims to notability would be "represented in Pakistan in first UNESCO-affiliated World Association of Young Scientists (WAYS) in 2004" and "Young Chemist Award by International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC)". The former doesn't really demonstrate notability to me, and the latter is given for one's Ph.D., so I'm not sure that qualifies either. Perhaps will be notable eventually, but this can be recreated then (with a less promotional tone). Bfigura ^(talk) 15:37, 25 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Zero cites on GS. Does not pass WP:Prof. Xxanthippe (talk) 00:30, 26 November 2009 (UTC).[reply]
Comment the unsourced statement that "Member of The Science Advisory Board, United States, since June 3, 2008." would make him unquestionably notable, if it were true--this is an extremely select group. I can find no such evidence. (but I have had considerable difficulty finding an actual current list of members on the Web.) There is nothing relevant on G News archive. I suspect something else must have been intended. DGG ( talk ) 03:18, 26 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Scopus --not all the inclusive for non-western publications but very much more so than Google Scholar-- finds 8 papers. highest citation count 4. But he may conceivably be notable in the future--his two most recent papers are in major American Chemical Society journals, & it might be that they will be cited more when there is time DGG ( talk ) 03:26, 26 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. At best, the stats gathered by Xxanthippe and DGG indicate this page is premature. Respectfully, Agricola44 (talk) 16:21, 30 November 2009 (UTC).[reply]
