The only claim to notability for this individual is the tragic circumstances of his death. Per WP:BIO1E, fails notability criteria.  Onel 5969  TT me 19:42, 22 September 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete as he would've been best mentioned at an article for the bombing itself and of course News and Books instantly found links for this but nothing apart from an independent notable. SwisterTwister   talk  20:15, 23 September 2015 (UTC)

 *  Redirect  to 2014 Kabul restaurant bombing,  where there can be a good sized section on him since his death prompted coverage of his life and owrk.  search:.E.M.Gregory (talk) 14:32, 5 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Note I started the page on the bombing to have somewhere to redirect this man, there are too many good sources on his life to make deletion appropriate, arguably not quite enough for a page. The page I started is very slender at this point.  I will be back and even hope for a little help building it out.E.M.Gregory (talk) 14:32, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

 * Weak keep: Although the event itself is WP:BIO1E, the event did finally prompt news organizations (noted for their short news cycle and coverage of drama) to deem the subject's works notable. Although the event did play a major role in causing coverage of the subject; I believe this squeaks by as a keep as coverage also targeted his works. Esquivalience t 00:37, 7 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep fact is, coverage was extensive and in depth. To be sure, it was prompted by the killing.  But it is not unusual for the sort of biographical facts and accomplishments that some out in an obit to make it clear that an individual merits a page on Wikipedia.  Plus, death in a terrorist incident increases the notability of an individual.E.M.Gregory (talk) 11:43, 7 October 2015 (UTC)
