* Delete the two links in the above ivote both link to the same article. And this is in large part an interview - not considered an independent source for the purpose of verifying notability per WP:NRV. Mr. Mujahid has less than a one line mention here and here. Mujahid has authored articles in the Huffington Post, ; but these do not suffice as independent sources, and it is almost as easy to get published in the Huffington Post as writing a personal blog. He is covered in one article [, which is a college student newspaper, not really a reliable source for biographies on Wikipedia. This would be OK mixed with reliable sources, but there aren't any mainstream sources that cover Mujahid. As far as I can tell, significant independent coverage of this person is not available at this time. Fails GNG, BIO, BLP.

 * Keep He seems to be a respected commentator whose views are sought. He is the author of several commentary pieces for the "WorldPost" as well as giving his views on TV. Meets WP:GNG. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 11:00, 2 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep He is quite well-known in the interfaith community, having served as a Chairman of the Parliament of World's Religions. See this Mthange (talk) 05:30, 5 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep after reviewing available sources again, it seems this person is has made a significant and positive impact in the Muslim community on a large scale. Passes WP:BIO. Oh yeah, I changed my ivote from "delete" to "keep". Please notice that I struck out my former "delete" ivote. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 03:44, 6 September 2017 (UTC)
