Alliance to Support Islam

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This doesn't appear to meet WP:GNG. The only reliable source on the page is Enab Baladi, which doesn't mention the phrase "Alliance to Support Islam". Googling the phrase returns the the Wikipedia page for Guardians of Religion Organization as the highest result because of content added to that article by the creator of this article. Possible WP:HOAX. Rosguill talk 07:40, 8 September 2018 (UTC)


 * The Kyle Orton blog does meet RS under WP:SPS. Orton's work has been published in the International Business Times  and other reliable publications.  David O. Johnson (talk) 08:48, 8 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Noted. However, upon reviewing the content on the Kyle Orton blog, and in the additional source that you added since this was listed for deletion, there isn't any mention of an "Alliance to Support Islam". The Kyle Orton blog refers to an "Alliance for Supporting Islam", and other sources refer to it by its Arabic name, Hilf Nusrat al-Islam. I no longer believe that this is a hoax, but if the result of this AfD is "keep" I would suggest moving the article to rename it per WP:COMMONNAME. As for the deletion discussion, I would like to see what more editors have to say. Sources appear to be reliable, but it's unclear to me whether they are really significant coverage of the alliance, and this article could potentially run afoul of WP:NOTNEWS.

 * Delete: insufficient reliable sources to justify a stand-alone article. K.e.coffman (talk) 01:12, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete It fails GNG. Besides, I don't see any need for this stub (in its current state) to be included in the encyclopedia. Dial911 (talk) 23:33, 22 September 2018 (UTC)
