The result was speedy keep. There seems to be significant consensus to keep, and none to delete. I fail to see why this was nominated, seeing as the CSD nominations were clearly disruptive editing. (non-admin closure) G S Palmer (talk • contribs) 23:59, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

 * Strong keep. Sourced. Historical personality of local fame and beyond. Google returns over 80,000 hits of the search string Hamza Makhdoom Kashmir. Original article (this one is a re-creation after too hasty deletion) was maliciously nominated for speedy deletion by a single-purpose account that aimed to erase from Wikipedia anything that would "steal" the title of "Sultan-ul-Arifeen" from Sultan Bahu – whilst Hamza Makhdoom, a maedieval sufi, is also known under this exact name. Hence, the editor speedy tagged all articles where this title was mentioned: Hamza Makhdoom, Makhdoom, Hari Parbat (because of Hamza Makhdoom shrine located there) and, ultimately, he/she went on to edit Sultan-ul-Arifeen to remove any reference to Hamza Mahkdoom from there. An SPI is in the making because it is very clear who the master is.  kashmiri TALK  21:01, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep - victim of a sock/meatfarm harassment campaign, or something along those lines. Regardless, he appears to be a historic saint, so I'm pretty sure that he's notable. There is also in addition to what is currently in the article, and almost certainly far more available for those whom are familiar with Indian sources.

 * Keep He is very notable in reality for his works in Kashmir valley. So there is no option of deleting the article. I have visited the place numerous times and visualized the tens of thousands of people visiting the place, that really confirms notability of the person for me.

 * Keep Having a significant shrine dedicated to a subject seems like a compelling case for notability. OhNo itsJamie Talk 22:28, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
