DYK for William Pinckney[edit]

On 15 August 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article William Pinckney, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that William Pinckney was only the second Black American to be awarded the Navy Cross, the highest decoration for valor in combat after the Medal of Honor? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/William Pinckney. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, William Pinckney), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

WP:N[edit]

Hello SouthernNights - I'd like your assistance in evaluating whether Asim Ijaz Khwaja meets the WP:N for WP:NPROF and whether Akmal Lewane meets the WP:N for WP:NPOET. Your input on their WP:N based on the relevant criteria would be appreciated. — Saqib (talk) 11:02, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have only limited connectivity at the moment due to being on vacation in a rural area. When I get back in a few days I'll check the articles out. SouthernNights (talk) 14:40, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sure - also please Rasul Bakhsh Rais. — Saqib (talk I contribs) 13:31, 22 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It appears all three articles may not meet our notability standards. SouthernNights (talk) 13:28, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

OK Thanks for your input. I've draftified two recently created bios, instead of taking them to AfD. This will give anyone interested a chance to help establish their WP:N. The third BLP was created long ago so might not be suitable for draftification so will be taken to AfD. — Saqib (talk I contribs) 13:50, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I did more digging and it's possible Akmal Lewane meets our notability guidelines. Part of the problem here is there are so few reliable citations in English. But it's likely there are more in other languages. SouthernNights (talk) 15:09, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

OK. Maybe you would like to see this. @Fokket, the creator of Rasul Bakhsh Rais, said . SouthernNights assessment is totally wrong. I also agree with your assessment hence I draftified it, but they reverted my draftification. By the way, there is nothing significant or in-depth in local RS. I can vouch for this. — Saqib (talk I contribs) 15:16, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My apology for messing up the analysis on Asim Ijaz Khwaja. I'm better at analyzing the potential notability of poets and writers than doing the same with academics. SouthernNights (talk) 18:53, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No issue. I thought you might have expertise in academic-related bios as well, which I must confess I struggle with. Anyway, may I ask on what basis you believe Akmal Lewane meets NPOET? — Saqib (talk I contribs) 06:27, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
