Abu Sayed Ansary

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails WP:GNG. Imam of local mosque. Sources in article are a story in a local paper (Get West London) on how his car was vandalized, his mosque's website, a piece (deadlink) in "Just news BD" on an event in the mosque, and a profile on the defunct islamessential website. Not much else in BEFORE. Icewhiz (talk) 10:55, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

 * delete Islam Essential was a Channel S TV programme, on which Ansary was a presenter. So the capsule bio there is not independent and does not contribute towards notability. Searches of the usual Google types, Gale, HighBeam, JSTOR, and ProQuest found nothing deeper in reliable secondary sources than what is already cited. The story of his parked car being vandalized by a racist yobbo (or yobbos) is sad and disturbing, but insufficient to pass WP:GNG or WP:BIO. --Worldbruce (talk) 00:20, 13 October 2018 (UTC)
 * delete clergy of an individual congregation are rarely notable. Sourcing consists of  mentions in non -notable, local news sites that fails WP:SIGCOV. My searches in news and news archives produce nothing on him, although there is another, also non-notable  man by this name in south Asia.
