 * Weak delete The article has no independent links since he is listed as the founder and president of the All Afghanistan TKD Association. I wasn't able to find independent sources since the only seemingly independent links I found all triggered virus infection warnings on my computer.  Besides the lack of sources, I'm unsure of his notability.  He doesn't meet the notability criteria for a martial artist at WP:MANOTE, but he seems better known as an administrator.  I don't know what would him notable for that--especially when he founded the organization.  There's also a COI issue since the article was mainly written by Shafiullah Shirzai.

 * Weak Delete Is heading a national TKD organization enough to show he's notable? That's his only claim to notability, so I'm inclined to say no.  I'll admit I'm not sure--it's certainly not listed in the martial arts notability guidelines.  The fact that he founded that organization and that there are no independent sources in the article that show notability weigh against him. Astudent0 (talk) 18:33, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
