The subject received some press coverage [https://www.dawn.com/news/1287828], [https://tribune.com.pk/story/1192909/tough-competition-prof-memon-appointed-sla-chief/] when he was appointed as chairman of the Sindhi Language Authority.. but i believe they are not enough to pass WP's notability requirement.

• Delete all the coverage from reliable sources is about him being appointed as chairman of sindhi language association. A possible case of WP:BIO1E. But the subject definitely fails notability criteria for academics, and WP:GNG as well. —usernamekiran(talk) 03:16, 5 April 2018 (UTC)

• Comment. If his creative and academic work is published in Sindhi-language media, it may not show up on a web search. [http://sindhila.edu.pk/profiles/DR%D9%80ABDUL%D9%80GHAFOOR%D9%80MEMON.pdf But see the information in his CV.] Google Scholar lists several articles by an engineering professor with the same name.

* Does have some coverage. I'll go with weak delete here for now.  M A A Z   T A L K  21:07, 10 April 2018 (UTC)

: Agreeing with Eastmain. He has accomplished quite a lot of research papers, its just that they aren't available online yet.

• Keep. [https://www.dawn.com/news/1167157 Here] is an article about the launch of one of his books. Being chair of the Sindhi Language Authority may be recognition as a significant author and leading scholar in his field. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 21:26, 10 April 2018 (UTC)

::{{ping|Eastmain}} None of the books or research work authored by the subject is notable enough to warrant an entry on WP. I don't think authors of books are something that would be expected to have an article on WP unless they meet GNG. Authors are not given an automatic free pass over WP:BIO just because they exist — their ability to qualify for WP article is determined by criteria at WP:AUTHOR or WP:BK. Also the news piece you provided above is merely a press release with no byline. For what it's worth, only a couple of chairs of this org have their standalone bios so I assume this is some kind of bureaucratic post. --Saqib (talk) 06:38, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
