This person clearly fails WP:BIO and WP:GNG. The only possibility in WP:PROF is #8, but I don't think that Asiatic: IIUM Journal of English Language and Literature is a "major well-established academic journal". Contested PROD. Nomoskedasticity (talk) 14:28, 5 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep. Another possibility is WP:AUTHOR point 3: "The person has created, or played a major role in co-creating, a ... collective body of work, that has been the subject of ... multiple independent periodical articles or reviews." E.g. [1], [2], [3]. Also found this quote in The Journal of Commonwealth Literature's Annual Bibliography of Commonwealth Literature 2007 : Malaysia and Singapore : It is clear that creative writing did not progress in a vacuum, but received support and succour from a group of increasingly active critics and scholars of Malaysian literature in English. Among the most prominent of these critics and scholars is Mohamad Quayum, who produced two important volumes during the year. Qwfp (talk) 18:28, 5 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: I think his editorship of Asiatic: IIUM Journal of English Language and Literature and his formerly (1993-2000) being the Co-editor (name alongside the Editor but ahead of the board) World Literature Written in English (now Journal of Postcolonial Writing) with his works looks enough to Pass WP:Prof to me. Have added this last to the article with a ref and made some little pages on both journals. Searching using Mohammad A. Quayum in google books and google scholar produces more than without his middle A. (Msrasnw (talk) 09:54, 10 February 2012 (UTC))[reply]
