Comment: Ok, I think this person is likely to be notable, but the draft doesn't show it yet. I've removed a lot of CV-type material and so on - please don't add this kind of thing back, as that's not what we're looking for. What we are looking for is a) articles about him, not by him, and/or b) articles about his work, not articles in which he appears as a spokesperson or interview subject regarding his work. Since he's an author, there are some obvious leads you can try first: do his books have academic or newspaper critic book reviews? I suspect Api Dalam Sekam: The New Order and the Ideology of Anti-Communism does, for example. Did he publish his PhD thesis as a book? That might have some too. etc. asilvering (talk) 00:45, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
