Apparently non-notable social entrepreneur. No hits on Google News.
I just created this article as a move from category space, per Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013_April_8#Category:Akbar_Khan_Qureshi.
However, when I then speed-read it, it seemed to be full of WP:PEACOCK phrasing ... and the assertion of notability that I had thought I had spotted in the opening sentence was misleading. It says that Quershi is "current Ambassador of India for Nations United", which I misread as the United Nations. In fact, "Nations United" is Qureshi's own venture.

- Delete It doesn't look to me that Nations United is the subject's own project, as he is not listed here. But anyway, the award from them can not be regarded as notable, and I have found no wider evidence (Google, Higbeam, Questia) that the subject is notable.

- Delete. Found one hit for this individual on a website I've never heard of called "Faces for Transformation." I'm not sure the single source regarding developments in...ahem...goat farming qualify as a notable subject. MezzoMezzo (talk) 06:20, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
