Huzrat baba natho shah chishti

No sources and unclearly reading, fails to meet GNG. ~ Junior5a   (Talk)   Cont  16:49, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete - per nomination. -- Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 17:00, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
 * I suspect that the title of this article suffers from the problem, endemic in articles about South Asian subjects, of honorific overload, which means that it's very difficult for those of us unfamiliar with the relevant culture to even tell which parts of the title are the subject's actual name, and so to perform any sensible search for sources. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 21:12, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete. Just another non-notable clergyman, whom the (very) local populace has elevated to the ranks of saint. Does not show up at all in GNews and GBooks, not even when searching for the most essential core terms "Baba Natho Shah" or alternatively spelled "Baba Nathu Shah" (Huzrat is an honorific, while Chishti indicates the guy's membership of the Chishti Sufi order). --HyperGaruda (talk) 14:08, 11 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete per HyperGaruda - editor has created several unsourced lineage articles - in addition to Huzrat baba sadeeq shah chishti mentioned above see Spiritual lineage of Chisti Sabri - Arjayay (talk) 08:06, 12 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete as another obscure South Asian religious figure with a questionable article created in tandem with other questionable articles in order to give the appearance of notability. This isn't anything new, though the quality of the prose in this improperly sourced article on a non-notable person seems to have reached a new low. "You wrote a one book. Your birth name is Din Muhammad" is a whole new level of bad writing (or possibly reliance on Google Translate). MezzoMezzo (talk) 22:39, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
