This was recently accepted at AfC, but it does not meet any of the criteria at WP:NPROF or WP:BASIC. There is a lack of reliable sources covering the subject, he has not received a significant appointment or award, and there is no evidence that any of his work has been highly cited.

• Delete not enough sources and does not pass notability guidelines for academics.John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:26, 11 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. The subject has only a handful of citations reported by Google Scholar, so does not pass WP:PROF#1, and there is no indication that he might pass any other criterion of WP:PROF or the general notability guideline. Phil Bridger (talk) 13:27, 11 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment:He is an Associate Professor at the University of Sharjah. Later I have also found out that he was the head of the Public Law Department at Isra University. Doesn't this make him notable according to WP:NACADEMIC point number 5 or does it have to be any higher post to be eligible? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Spalko Irina (talk • contribs) 04:12, 18 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Point 5 is for people who have a position higher than full professor on the basis of their scholarly accomplishments. Head of department is an administrative rather than scholarly accomplishment. There is a different point of WP:PROF that applies to administrators (number 6), but it's only for heads of entire universities. —David Eppstein (talk) 05:37, 18 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak delete. No evidence of passing WP:PROF. He does appear to have at least one published book ("International Law and the Use of Force Against Terrorism") and despite its publisher's not-entirely-stellar reputation I did find one published review of it. It's not enough for WP:AUTHOR but if we could only double both the number of published books and published reviews per book I could easily change my mind. —David Eppstein (talk) 05:50, 18 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
