The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was no consensus - WP:V is of course not negotiable, but the subject does have a good number of hits on Factiva, some substantial, so there isn't enough convincing argument or majority here to justify deletion. --Sam Blanning^(talk) 01:13, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Enver Masud

I am concerned that the article cannot be verified and that the subject may not be notable under WP:BIO. All his books are self published and the only web reference for the award is his website. The organization has no web presence but may actually exist as it is listed here. With no website or listing in catalouges of human rights organizations it is probably not notable in itself.

• Keep; the article is unverified, but is probably verifiable. Also the HRF's Gold award seems to be enough to confer notability. Vectro 18:18, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, notability certainly appears to be met, verifiability should not be a problem for someone winning an award (page is linked in the article) and the other claims. --Cpt. Morgan (Reinoutr) 20:45, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Comment but it is, at least on the internet the only evidence of the award is his own website. Eluchil404 02:29, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom, unless we can get some reliable citations in here. Vectro 21:20, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
