I cannot find any sources to establish this person's notability. He claims to be the sun son of a sultan of the Maldives, but according to List of sultans of the Maldives, that sultan died 161 years before this person was born. Ahecht (TALK PAGE ) 20:00, 20 March 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete The article says son of a son of the sultan (and not son) - I wouldn't delete due to that only. The main thing lacking is any sources or any claim to notability. Seems he was a local school headmaster (according to the text) - this might even meet speedy deletion due to lack of claim to notability in the text itself. No sources. and a quick online source check doesn't find anything at all.Icewhiz (talk) 07:05, 21 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I misread that. As the son of royalty there was at least a credible claim of significance that might disqualify it from speedy deletion. As the son of the son of the Sultan, I probably should've speedy'd the article. --Ahecht ([[User_talk:Ahecht|'''TALK
