Madinawa

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Since Imam Ghali, Banu Gha and House of Maiduniya all appear to be hoaxes, this automatically means that other articles that are part of the same series need to be scrutinised too. There are a few hits for "Madinawa" but none seem to relate to a Nigerian clan. The term "Awliya Madinawa Malamai" only seems to yield Wikipedia mirrors. The references are the same fake ones used by the article creator and their sockpuppet accounts. The only one that might have given this article hope was Abdullahi, Ahmed (1999). Madinawan Kano. Danlami Printers but this book does not seem to actually exist. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 20:14, 9 November 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete whatever is going in with this bizarre clutch of articles it doesn’t belong in an encyclopedia. Mccapra (talk) 21:08, 10 November 2022 (UTC)
