no evidence of any notability. The closest thing to any notability is a trivial note in some school newspaper Sef rin gle Talk 04:24, 16 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Speedy Keep Article states, with sourcing, that he is President of the Council of the Islamic Organizations of Greater Chicago (CIOGC), that in 1990 he won the Outstanding Academic Book of the Year Award from the American Library Association, and that he is on the Board of Directors of the Council for a Parliament of the World's Religions. Certainly notable.--Cerejota 04:38, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you for copyihng the article, though you haven't expalined how the article establishes notability-- Sef rin gle Talk 04:52, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
 * It is a stub. Stub articles are short (duh!). However, those three items I listed are certainly a claim to notability. I am actually changing my vote to a speedy keep, because notability is established.--Cerejota 05:11, 16 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Speedy Keep as per my votes on Sefringle's today's AfD nominations here and here. Also per Cerejota. -- FayssalF  - Wiki me up®  05:55, 16 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep per Cerejota. These are certainly claims to notability, with the first (local religious council) the weakest. Numerous Google Books results. He was involved in the creation of Radio Islam, the first daily syndicated US radio program for Muslims. --Dhartung | Talk 06:14, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep and close. Based on the nom's other AFDs today I am suspicious of WP:POINT. -- Dennis The Tiger   (Rawr and stuff) 06:18, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I think you are voting based on the nominator rather than the value of the article.-- Sef rin gle Talk 07:50, 16 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Weak keep Where are the independent sources? (Maybe some of the books?) Where are the sources that are "reliable" by Wikipedia standards? Given all the sources we have, there seems evidence enough of notability ([WP:N]]), and I'm convinced proper sourcing is possible in this case, which I think is enough under WP:N.

 * Speedy keep. Notability established, could use more sources .  T Rex  | talk  07:50, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep as per Cerejota. A few more sources would help though. DraxusD 08:36, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete: Cant see multiple 3rd party RS's in the reference section. --Matt57 (talk•contribs) 15:40, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep as per above.  ITAQALLAH   16:11, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak delete He has a reference in the Dallas Morning News, but the Chicago Sun tiTimes article just says he is a friend of Yusef Islam (Cat Stevens ). Besides that there is a campus paper and newsletters or websites of organizations he is a member of. Very borderline, and better references could sway my vote. Edison 22:30, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - Dallas Morning News wrote about it. Notable for a keep. -- Fuzheado | Talk 13:54, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
