[edit] Rajan Zed

Rajan Zed (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Contested PROD. Article appears to be written by the subject WP:COI. For someone so 'notable' there appears to be very few independent websites attesting to his importance. It has been claimed that he is listed in Who's Who in America. This is a publication of the American Biographical Institute that does negligible research into the notability of individuals.

• Rajan Zed's achievements/activities portray him as a strong candidate for inclusion in Wikipedia.

Northern Nevada International Center and Nevada World Trade Council, which have him on their Board of Directors, are fairly well-known organizations. He was elected unopposed to the office of General Improvement District Trustee of Verdi TV District in Nevada in the November 2006 US mid-term elections. His activities/efforts in the inter-faith dialogue in northern Nevada, diversity initiatives in Washoe County School District, leadership in various ethnic organizations, volunteership and public service in social/cultural/other organizations, etc., show that he must be included in the popular enclyclopedia like Wikipedia.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.14.205.200 (talk • contribs) 19:24, February 21, 2007.
