Appears to be a possible autobiography of a non-notable PhD student. I found a few mentions of this person as co-author of a few research papers, but nothing significant. I don't think it meets the WP:ACADEMIC notability guidelines, but I'm no expert, so would welcome other views. Marianna251TALK 23:33, 26 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• A number of changes have been made to the article since I listed it for AfD discussion, but I still have concerns. Actually, if anything, my concerns have got worse. The sources provided appear to be RS at first glance, but on examination they're either primary sources written/self-published by Sounny-Slitine, or are about the topics mentioned in the article but have no mention of Sounny-Slitine, or don't actually support the statements being made in the article. For example, this sentence: "In 2009, Sounny-Slitine joined the University of Texas as the Associate Director of the GIScience Center where he maintained the GIS laboratories, taught workshops, and worked on GIS research" has this news article as a source, but what it actually says about him is: "Anwar Sounny-Slitine, a geography graduate student and a senior desktop support specialist".

That's a pretty blatant misrepresentation. Another example is this statement "Sounny-Slitine attended the 2009 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Conference in Copenhagen where he represented the American Association of Geographers (AAG)" but the source actually says: "Geography graduate student M. Anwar Sounny-Slitine, government junior Rachel Aitkens and Emily Grubert, an energy and earth resources graduate student, attended the conference that lasted from Dec. 7 to Dec. 18. The students were able to participate in lectures as well as some meetings open to nongovernmental organizations." The other source given for that statement doesn't mention him at all.

Overall, the "sources" are hugely deceitful and the article is so far removed from them that it might as well be a work of fiction. Marianna251TALK 12:35, 29 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Even stubbed down to remove the puffery, no notability is evident. In particular he does not appear to have the citations to pass WP:PROF#C1 and there is no hint of any other WP:PROF criterion. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:08, 1 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
