[edit] Izhar Hunzai

Fails WP:BIO - no evidence of notable achievement presented - Delete. BlueValour 03:05, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. As an official of the Aga Khan Development Network, he seems to be doing particularly useful things. TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 04:25, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - 479 exact name matches on Google. Michael 06:08, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete fails notability test. Eusebeus 11:14, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep for his involvement with Aga Khan Rural Support Programme (cultural services side). Dlyons493 Talk 12:29, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
• Deleted Non-Notable and Fails WP:BIO. I suggest people look at those 479 exact name matches on Google and reconcider their notability claims. --Bschott 14:12, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Notable in the field, plenty of exact name matches in google Localzuk ^(talk) 14:13, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

• Comment - Barely 35 Google hits here and many do not refer to him. No tangible achievements - General manager of such a programme is a most worthwhile job but no different from very, many other people doing such responsible functions. BlueValour 14:30, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Comment probably better to search on Izhar Ali Hunzai Dlyons493 Talk 16:20, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Comment and why would anyone have used the middle name 'Ali' when searching? Nothing is said about it in the article nor is it part of the title. --Bschott 20:55, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Comment - Using the middle name brings it down to 23 hits here. Face it; this guy ain't notable. BlueValour 00:37, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Comment He's general manager of a humanitarian organisation that has doubled the income of the rural poor in their area of interest. Has a 6m$ annual budget. Ghits isn't the best criterion here. Dlyons493 Talk 00:52, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Comment - I have managed a £3 million UKP budget in a human resources field but I am not notable :-) I have no doubt that this is a remarkable achievement but for encyclopaedic purposes we need to meet WP:CITE and WP:LIVING. BlueValour 02:37, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Further comment - For determination of notability or including in the encyclopaedia what is needed is independent sourcing for example as to what (and how it) was achieved, some figures as to the numbers benefitting, the other influences etc BlueValour 07:59, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
