Insufficient coverage in independent reliable sources to write a reasonably detailed biography. The first two sources give us his name, University of Durham and the invention. As far as independent reliable sources, that one sentence is all we know. It might belong in several places on Wikipedia, but it is not a biography. The third source, a primary source bio (and unarchived deadlink) is not useful for notability.

Google scholarh-index of somewhere around 11 fails
WP:Prof#C1 in this field. Claim to have developed organic room temperature magnet is just by one person in a large research group. Durham link is dead. Google hits are social media sites and mirrors of Wikipedia. Fails

plastic magnet per
WP:BIO1E. His postdoctoral(?) supervisor on the plastic magnet research, A. P. Monkman, looks clearly notable by our
WP:PROF standards, but I don't see the evidence of the same for Zaidi. Subject seems to have disappeared from the scholarly record after doing this research, so notability is unlikely to change. —
