 * Delete as non-notable, I can find no mentions in Google Books, none in Google news, only mirrors of this wiki in normal searches. Appears to be mainly the work of one COI editor see Conflict_of_interest/Noticeboard Fayedizard (talk) 09:41, 26 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete unreliable sources, conflict of interest, religious propaganda, spam. -- Itemirus  Message me!  11:01, 26 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. I did independent sweeps of US newspapers, world newspapers, India newspapers, Pakistan newspapers, and found no mentions, so this article fails WP:RS and the WP:GNG accordingly. I like to rescue articles that are on the chopping block (have saved quite a few); if good sources can be found, please alert me, but otherwise this one looks like it is beyond saving.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 12:03, 26 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - Hassal Sharif is situated 75 KM (one driving hour) south of Rawalpindi, Pakistan and Google maps 33.20965°N, 73.12115°W confirms the Hassal Sharif name and location. So does hassalsharif.com However, there are no English sources mentioning Hassal Sharif. The Urs festival mentioned in the article is held in Eidgah Sharif, not Hassal Sharif. The "presently famous Sufi scholar Syed Mehmood Shah Bukhari", "Spiritual Leader/Teacher who Lives in Hassal Sharif" mentioned in the article resides in Railway Colony behind the Cantt Railway Station, but I was unable to determine whether Railway Colony was in Hassal Sharif. The topic might be notable via reliable sources published in Pakistan. However, Hassal Sharif seems like a small location and, until reliable source material comes forward, I'll have to side with does not meet WP:GNG. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 17:44, 26 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Note to the closing admin: the page history for this article seems to have become separated through a series of moves and cutting-and-pasting.  Most of the article's history is currently at User talk:Hassal Sharif and should be deleted with this article and/or history merged before deletion.  -- Ed (Edgar181) 17:55, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
