[edit] Ahmed Din
I have been watching Nazir117 struggle to create this article for over a week. Now that Nazir has actually put something together, I fear that we have to say: sorry, chairman of a bus company is not quite notable enough for Wikipedia. But does the same hold in Pakistan? -- RHaworth 20:10, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
- Delete OR. No RS. As far as I can gather, was a successful, yet non-notable businessperson. the_undertow talk 21:01, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

- I get accused of biting the newbies but "OR. No RS" is about as unwelcoming as one can get. Nazir, to translate it: "Please add some references (preferably as external links) to indicate that the person meets one of the notability criteria". -- RHaworth 13:35, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
- Delete Clearly no citations establishing notability, and the article taken at face value doesn't do it anyway. All I can find on anyone named Ahmed Din from the Lahore area is in a NY Times article Hard Days in Battered Pakistan Town, February 20, 1972. It says "On a war battered area of the Punjab plain east of Lohre" there was a man Ahmed Din who did "not qualify for rations" because his "home and stored grain are in Sawla" and "as a result he is piling up a huge debt and his credit is running out". Probably not the same guy --Work permit 19:31, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
