[edit] Aqeel Abbas Jafri

Little more than a CV. Other users and I have marked the page with wikify, cleanup and likeresume tags, but the original creator has repeatedly removed these from the page. Suspect this to be a publicity effort by his publisher. Jvhertum 17:14, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete per nom. The long list of books is the give-away in my mind of it being a CV. Running out of WP:AGF for creator User:Imadkasir, who also keeps uploading unacceptible images among his Wiki-unfriendly actions. DMacks 18:31, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak keep I don't think the notability is primarily the books; i think he's notable as a journalist and quiz show writer--some of the books are apparently the compiled questions from the show. (Assuming it can be documented. Writing undocumented articles about relatively unfamiliar but possibly notable subjects is not of help to anybody, including the subjects, because the articles will generally get deleted. )DGG 04:52, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete page creator's actions notwithstanding, the article has no sources and a Google search says they're unlikely to be forthcoming, with all results passing mentions of his name. [1] —Resurgent insurgent 2007-04-25 00:01Z
  • Delete If he deserves an article, then make it a request, because this isn't one. CitiCat 04:27, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak keep contingent on fixing, passes notability, but needs a massive cleanup, sources a-plenty, and needs to look like an article and not like a resume. --Valley2city₪‽ 07:49, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete unless substantially improved as per Valley2city. As it stands now the article is worthless. Stammer 11:13, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong Delete unless someone can come up with third-party references that assert any shard of notability that this person might potentially have. Otherwise it's just a resume, and it doesn't belong on here. - Pandacomics 22:13, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - this is a CV, not an encyclopedia article. Colonel Tom 23:34, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete The books would indicate some notability, but they aren't exactly ones you'd find on amazon, and there's no publisher or publication date. The same contributor wrote several other similar resume-looking pages for Pakistani Authors, so you might want to include those too. --Infrangible 01:47, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
