Makaman Kano Iliyasu

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

Contested draftify. Can't find any evidence of existence or notability and fails WP:V too. Unlike Waliyi Abdurrahim-Maiduniya and Imam Ghali, the references appear to be to books that actually exist. I can find no evidence, however, of a "Makaman Kano Iliyasu" being discussed at length in any of these books. My own searches are coming up with Wikipedia mirrors only. The article creator has created several hoaxes so it makes it hard for me to WP:AGF with this one. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 10:10, 6 November 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete the subject is mentioned in passing in listed source 4, but discussion of him “ascending the throne” seems to be pure invention. Particularly given the web of fantasy, false sourcing and likely hoaxing by the group of sockpuppets who created many related articles, I think it is safest to delete this.
