• Speedy delete - per nom and completely promotional in nature, a c.v. masquerading as an article. ukexpat (talk) 14:38, 13 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. If by some chance this isn't speedied, I want to voice that this should be deleted because the subject is not notable. He might be wealthy and have accomplished quite a bit- which should definitely be admired, but that in and of itself does not establish notability. I was looking to see if he could pass WP:POLITICIAN, but I'm not exactly certain which political office he actually holds. A search with Google Translate and the Urdu form of his name doesn't really bring anything up in the news or general search to show this either, as there is at least one other person that goes by the name Syed Ali Raza, although I note that the article for that gentleman could use a little wiki TLC. (But from what I can find, he does initially seem to be notable.) If someone else can find material to show he holds a notable political position I'm willing to change my vote, but offhand I have to say that he doesn't pass notability guidelines.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 17:05, 13 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
