Al-Fassi family

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This article is about a family of sheiks that seem to be prominent in Sri Lanka, as it stands, the article fails WP:NOTGENEALOGY, and I don't think current sourcing justifies an article. Hemiauchenia (talk) 02:54, 13 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I will quote the analysis of the sources I did in response to back in May on the RSN "Someone's CV is by definition a self-published source, so not reliable. The two other sources apparently originate from Daily News (Sri Lanka). One of them discusses a visit by "His Holiness Al Seyyid Ash Sheik Ajwad Abdullah Al Fassi Al Macci Ash Shazulee" to Sri Lanka in 2004 apparently to discuss Sufism and tolerant Islam, and provides little overall detail on the family. The other piece in the paper is apparently by Dr. Hatoon Ajwad al-Fassi, (who the aformentioned CV belongs to) a Historian at King Saud University Riyadh discussing the family and history of Shazuliya Tariqah, apparently an obscure (at least in english language sources) group of the Shadhili order of Sufism, the piece cites no sources so I would treat it with caution, even though it appears to be by a well established academic."

 * Delete, a family tree, populated by a large number of non-notable members - concur fails WP:NOTGENEALOGY. Dan arndt (talk) 03:00, 14 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:SNOW. Very few of the named persons are notable. If we're going to delete articles about actual royalty, we might as well delete articles about the families of local potentates as well. Bearian (talk) 22:32, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
