I think the article passes  anyways, So many dawn references, brecorder, thenews,etc. https://www.thenews.com.pk/archive/print/76358-brief..., https://pakobserver.net/pu-continues-to-benefit-from-retired-teachers-registrar/, https://www.dawn.com/news/118739, https://www.dawn.com/news/396718, https://www.dawn.com/news/118739, https://www.dawn.com/news/276492, https://www.dawn.com/news/273049 http://fp.brecorder.com/2004/10/2004101950238/, and all these references are not just namechecks, they describe him as a holder of a post. As for acting VC issue, i think he was acting VC before September 2007, as desribed by the nom, after Sep 2007 he was simply referred as VC or former VC as by these University site(s) http://pu.edu.pk/page/show/former-vcs.html, http://111.68.103.26/home/section/allpress/209 and these dawn references https://www.dawn.com/news/273049, https://www.dawn.com/news/276492 also brecorder simply referred to him as VC after Sep 2007 https://fp.brecorder.com/2007/09/20070925627526/. Also criteria 5 of  reads ''The person holds or has held a named chair appointment or distinguished professor appointment at a major institution of higher education and research (or an equivalent position in countries where named chairs are uncommon).'' He is also Professor emeritus a(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professors_in_the_United_States#Professor_emeritus_and_emerita| Distinguised_Professor) per these sources http://pu.edu.pk/home/section/allpress/2349, https://nation.com.pk/22-Feb-2013/pu-vc-condoles-death-of-dr-zakir-s-father.
