[edit] Emaduddin Ahmad

Non-notable, vanity biography. Same user uploaded 3 vanity bios ... all officers of an organization, without any justification of their notability. These persons are not notable in Bangladesh, or outside.

• Weak keep or Merge to Institute of Water Modelling which is a notable institute - thus giving its directors some claim to notability. Dlyons493 13:26, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

• Keep or Merge: biography that should have more info in it. Expansion would be good for this article. Lincher 15:22, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
• Speedy delete Don't know about notability and such, but this seems very likely to be a copyvio from http://www.iwmbd.org/html/eua.htm. That page is on longer online, but this article seems to be copied pretty much verbatim from Google cached version of the page (unfortunately it's been here too long for me to speedy outright under WP:CSD#A8 (or am I just beeing too "by the book" on that whole 48 hour thing?)). Anyway I blanked it (except for the AFD notice) with the {{copyvio}} notice, but I didn't list it at Wikipedia:Copyright problems, as that seemed redundant with this AFD process already underway. --Sherool (talk) 03:12, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

Comment: This article, (and two more similarly dubious articles) are all from the same person 202.22.194.43 (talk · contribs). WhoIs queries show that the IP is from "Institute of Water modeling", the same institute the person promoted via copy paste jobs. My guess is that this is yet another case of some guy promoting three of his bosses, or perhaps the subject promoting himself. I'm from Bangladesh, and have never, ever seen these guys mentioned in any news papers, or technical communities. Promoting the officials of every institute is not encyclopedic!! --Ragib 05:00, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
