IQuinn - I am seeking clarification of this person from User:Geo Swan. I have brought this up on his talkpage concerning other names similar to "Abdul Haq" which are as follows:


 * Abdul Haq (al Qaida leader).
 * Abdul Haq (Taliban leader, 2005).
 * Abdul Haq (Taliban leader, 2008).

Please be advised that I am still waiting for a response from User:Geo Swan if two or maybe all threee are the same person. If they are the same person or a second person, there could be at least one less wikipedia page. Adamdaley (talk) 03:57, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete all. If we can't even determine if they are the same person, I would say that's definitive proof that the coverage cited in the articles does not meet the significant coverage requirements of WP:GNG.   --Joshua Scott (LiberalFascist) 00:47, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment. There are no authoritative sources that state that King Scorpion and Narmer are different persons, and we can't even determine if they are the same person. Is that definitive proof neither is adequately covered so that both articles should be deleted? (This is a rhetorical question. Don't quote WP:OTHERSTUFF now – I'm just using this as an example to show that the argument as presented does not hold water.) --Lambiam 21:42, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Very well, show me the reliable sources that have studied these various Abdul Haq's and the debate raging over whether they are the same person. The reason those sources don't exist is because there is not significant coverage of any of these individuals. --Joshua Scott (LiberalFascist) 06:28, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
