 * Keep I think this subjects notability is a bit iffy, but still established, particularly given the award, which award was given by a PM. Improve with references. 203.122.242.126 (talk) 03:11, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Weak delete. I've found no really notable published sources. He appears several times on the news like that, but it's hardly a major news items about the person. He seems to be a respected religious person in his locality, but the article seriously lacks any good verifiable references. 136 ghits is somewhat low for world-wide notability. Article sourced as "written by a relative" is clearly an original research and should not be placed in wikipedia. --GreyCat (talk) 12:58, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
