activity that spanned years. For me that's enough to suggest more time is needed to develop this other significant activity of his and to leave this as a stub until it can develop; that and his activity with the Rome Statute was connected to his activity in the news event. I also believe, he played a major role in that news event (see above for the 1E qualification). Moreover, the Skype scandal is still currently developing with the arrest of editor

further human rights work. Of course, he did play a major role in the one event where there are the most Internet hits in searches, and his role is in fact well documented in Bangladesh's Skype scandal. His conversations with Justice Huq made international news, and to give you an idea of how important this was in Bangladesh: one journalist wrote that it has been likened to the British

claim. Yes, he has known the resigned judge Huq for over 25 years, but that's trivia. Ziauddin was the other caller of the inappropriate contact. Ziauddin had written charges for the court and was talking and giving advice to the judge. Moreover, there wouldn't have even been a justifiable war crimes

When this article was nominated, it had not been developed sufficiently. Since there has been much activity in editing and adding fresh sources to show Ziauddin's work for Bangladesh to create a structure for its membership in the international court system. This adds much needed context to the Skype

I assume you have made a WP:GoodFaith misconstrual of my words. The end result that Bangladesh was an important signer and ratifier of the declaration is the same no matter whether you see it in the long-term of short-term. And to note, I don't see one delete vote that actually explains how he could

since I frequently worry about cultural bias at Knowledge (XXG). If it's not a major event in the United States, Canada, the UK or Australia, it often doesn't get the attention it deserves here. This is an encyclopedia for the entire world. This gentleman is at the epicenter of one noteworthy event

to my reason. Out that out of the 22 current references at this moment, 12 of them have nothing to do with the Skype scandal that he was involved with. Those references span over a decade. Much of his work prior to this time occurred in an era when online newspapers were not as vibrant as they are

is that you can ONLY find sources about the ONE event, but that's not the case for Ziauddin as he was also active, notable in fact, in the Asian ratification of the Rome Treaty. To treat him as 1E, you would have to completely write off the sources about his efforts on behalf of the treaty and

The Bengali-language source clearly summarizes Ziauddin's involvement in the Rome Statute 1998, the lobbying of Asian countries, and Bangladesh's government to ratify. Is it perfect? No -- and I think we actually all agree on that. The other sources provide relevant sourcing for a low-profile

Hmm, some selective quoting there, ONEEVENT "When the role played by an individual in the event is less significant, an independent article may not be needed, and a redirect is appropriate." Apart from this, what is he known for? And please do not say "his advocacy of the Rome Statute of the
488:, "If the event is highly significant, and the individual's role within it is a large one, a separate article is generally appropriate." I think therefore the article conforms to Knowledge (XXG) policy and should be kept, although attention should also be given to the weight of the article. 338:
One more point: right now this is a stub article. How many stubs have almost 30 cites? Still it's important to keep this in mind because it means the community doesn't think the article is of the quality needed. If you look at other players in this Bangladeshi story, such as

I disagree with Crtew's assessment on the grounds that while he is involved in the Asian ratification of the Rome Treaty, I can't find any reliable sources regarding that treaty of which he is a significant figure. All of the sources that mention him fail to

714:. I would not describe this article as a stub, but as a start class, and citation count doesn't mean anything as a raw number. Some bits of this article seem a little bit more fluffy than they need to be, but not bad enough to need removing. 807:(Skype controversy in Bangladesh), and contributed substantially in another noteworthy event (Asian ratification of the Rome Treaty). This is a close call, but I think we should give this article more time to see what develops. 182: 81: 461: 1007:: "If the event is highly significant, and the individual's role within it is a large one, a separate article is generally appropriate." Both of these criteria appear to me to be met here. -- 845:
Let's put it into perspective. The Skype controversy comprises only half the article. Furthermore, the Skype scandal comprises less than half of the subject of the references.

I would strongly disagree that the event itself was of little importance. It was international news, and The Economist wrote two features with the event as the main subject

But redirect, rather than delete, as there is a chance someone may search en.Knowledge (XXG) for Ahmed Ziauddin. -- 441: 586: 680:. Substantial coverage in reliable independent sources for only a single event. Sourcing for rest of bio is scant, and doesn't meet the requirements of 298: 873:, one is an article written by Ziauddin reproduced on a blog (which I think can be used for information, but not to establish notability) 689:, none of which is sufficient to establish notability, even if taken together.

If a person has doubts that Ziauddin's role in the scandal was important, then why was Judge Huq's contact with him inappropriate?

The size of that one event is not really of importance here, since the event itself was of such little importance. 867: 225: 686: 694: 593: 541: 512: 493: 233: 741: 711: 158: 808: 228:
