Second source goes to a dead link. Searched the Georgetown.edu website, see no mention of "Oman Professor of Arabic and Islamic Studies" with regards to Prof. Shahid, he's simply on an Adjunct Faculty list as a Professor Emeritus, see here. Also while there are works listed, the article and the works fail to establish this professor's notability in verifiable established sources. Does not meet WP:PROF guidelines.

Snow keep - professor emeritus means he's basically retired, so that's why he's on adjunct faculty. Has h-index of 34 with more than 7,000 citations, easily passing WP:ACADEMIC. —Мандичка^YO 😜 08:26, 11 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Also the first source confirms his notability and title: It's Dumbarton Oaks (research library affiliated with Harvard): At Dumbarton Oaks, Irfan Shahîd was a Junior Fellow (1954–1955), a Visiting Fellow (1960–1961 and 1972–1973), a Visiting Scholar (1975–1976), and an Associate Fellow (1979–1984 and 1999–2008) of Byzantine Studies. He is presently an Honorary Affiliate Fellow of Byzantine Studies.... Today we are here to interview Professor Irfan Shahîd, Associate Fellow at Dumbarton Oaks and Oman Professor at Georgetown University. —Мандичка^YO 😜 08:35, 11 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Withdrawn Thanks for that, now that the article got ironed out I see what you mean. RegistryKey^(RegEdit) 09:41, 11 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- No problem, I'm expanding the article so it all worked out :-) —Мандичка^YO 😜 09:55, 11 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
