Co-founded Poverty Reduction Foundation in Afghanistan. Unable to find anything about him connected to the Foundation. I'm not sure the Foundation exists. Foundation website is dead. Some IP from Afghanistan continues to update the article... has him as 26, a medical doctor and has a postgrad degree. Lots of fluff added about the environment and OLPC.

Comment. As a rule, I don't like to vote delete on entities with names written in non-Latin characters unless we know the spelling in the original language to search on. How is his name spelled? I mean, newspapers from Afghanistan are a lot less likely to be accessible online, and I do doubt the guy's notable, but we need to try this first. –Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 08:23, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
After reading your original post, I was thinking about trying to CSD it as a hoax to save a week of discussion, but some poking around showed that he's at least listed on OLPC's wiki. It's an open wiki but he's been listed there for years surviving edits by OLPC people, so presumably it's a real affiliation. No comment on his notability other than that really, but at least he's probably not a total hoax. MD and a postgrad degree seem pretty unbelievable, but I guess it's always possible someone got his age wrong or something. I haven't turned up sources confirming any of his details, but haven't tried hard enough to feel like I should comment on notability. 98.248.194.216 (talk) 08:26, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
