Anjuman Khudam-ul-Quran

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Non-notable organisation and the article provides little appropriate material. Judging by the article's history, it seems to have always served as a promotional article and nothing else. With Google News, I found three mentions here (article mentioning the founder's death), here and here. The relevant English links I have found are YouTube videos or simply mention the founder rather than focusing with the organisation. I must also mention that despite the article's title including "Khudam", these links show that the correct name may be Khuddam. If there are reliable sources, chances are that they are not English but probably Arabic or Farsi, considering that these three links are Pakistani news articles. Additionally, the article provides no evidence of a Farsi name (a Farsi name would help with searching deeper) or a Farsi Wikipedia article. If the article were saved, the better option would be to add it to Farsi Wikipedia (if there isn't a current article) and translate it when the article has matured. A Google search shows that the organisation may have another name or is affiliated with Quran Academy, which was another article started by this author and was deleted twice (2006 as copyvio and 2012 as A7). Considering that the SPA author started both of these articles, it is likely that they were affiliated with Anjuman Khudam-ul-Quran and Quran Academy.

 * The best course might be a protected redirect to Israr Ahmed, the founder, who is clearly notable. The history of this article and that of the Academy is so problematic in the hands of various editors that I think we'd need the protection. Swister, if  you think this would meet the situation I am prepared to speedy close this and make the redirect, because otherwise this is a good candidate for speedy as both A7 and G11.

 * Feel free, chances are that the article would be restarted with promotional material again. If a user has significant content to start the article again (which would probably be unlikely), they may know where to ask. Additionally, it may make this AfD easier for other editors and for the article itself. SwisterTwister   talk  02:21, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
