To begin with, including Aaden-Gurey Maxamed Cabdille article, there are very limited articles about Somalia and Somalis on Wikipedia. For this particular article and the general subject of Somali Literature, any article that makes to publication should be kept because there are millions of articles about people, things and places with little sourcing or lacking standard Wiki page layout. Somali literature survived on the mercy of individually memorized bits, whether poems, stories and facts about historical event (s). Whether a fun wrote it or not, this article deserves a stay and not a deletion. Perhaps call for an expansion or additional sourcing but not a quick deletion. His Seventy and Ten poem about old age is famous throughout Somalia.

 * comment. How few or many articles on a particular subject there are on wiki is irrelevant. What matters is the importance of the subject and to a much lesser extent, the quality of the article. If this subject fails on notability, then it should be deleted even if it is the only article on the topic. Postcard Cathy (talk) 17:57, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
