Only claim of notability appears to be "Khwaja Najamuddin Ahmed was a very famous saint of his time ". No references support notability. It appears that the author may be trying to illustrate his family tree in these articles. No pertinent ghits. -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 00:37, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Apparently a notable sufi saint.  The article needs a re-write, not deletion.  Baileypalblue (talk) 02:07, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
 * My concern here is that the apparent notability comes only from the assertion within the article. It seems that WP:V is a problem. -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 15:54, 5 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment. I'd like to hear from those more familiar with this field, we do have problems with systematic bias. I'm not bothered if the author is related to the subject as long as we get a good article out of it. In many MidEast countries, families do trace back like this so I could see it in this case. -- Banj e  b oi   00:36, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep (for now) I agree with Benjiboi. This one needs an expert. It looks like it was transwikkied from WikiIslam, and I'm willing to accept good faith that he is ineed notable for his culture and religion. In the hope of WP:CSB, we might give this one a wait.

To administrators of Wikipedia
These articles are for the purpose of better understanding of the spread of Islam over the ages.If any one of them is deleted, it becomes very difficult for the reader to understand the rest.The people who have been described in these articles, are the corner stones of Islamic progression from one area to another But most of the literature about them is limited to the sub-continent,and is written by local authors.It is very difficult to find international books,particularly about the lesser known individuals(which in my opinion is no excuse to stop further research into a better understanding of their role in spread of Islam) Therefore, the books that have been used as references for these articles are mainly local books but complete information is provided about them in said articles.

It is difficult for a western author to understand asian culture,neither are there books availible in English about every aspect of it.Here a new language is spoken every 100 kilometers and it is not possible to find english translation of books in all these languages.Opinion about articles by asian authors should not be only taken from american or european authors.

Any help in improving my articles and preventig there deletion would be appreciated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Maqsoodshah01 (talk • contribs) 16:55, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
