Mahbooballah

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

I cannot find a single reference for this saint using Google News and Google Books, for the saint's name nor for his birth name. Drmies (talk) 03:25, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment Try Mahboobullah instead of Mahbooballah and there are likely other spellings as well in the Roman alphabet. I can't really tell if he is notable or not, I am inclined to say that he is but references are not available in English to verify the entire article which is very informal in tone. Someone needs to search in appropriate languages. Drawn Some (talk) 06:05, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the suggestions. Changing the spelling does not produce any sufi saints either, and that's where it ends for me. Drmies (talk) 19:29, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete. The Sufi saint may well be genuine, but I could not locate a single reliable source that would confirm that, despite trying several spelling variations. Its likely that non-English sources exist, but we cannot simply presume that and retain the article. No objection to userification if someone wishes to spend more time looking for sources.
