Mohammed Sheikh Adden

Unable to find any reliable sources to verify the information in the article and assess notability. Searched using the spellings 'Mohammed Sheikh Adden' and 'Mohammed Sheikh Aden'. Don't believe it would pass WP:POLITICIAN even if it were fully sourced and at present has no sources. Does not appear to meet WP:GNG. J04n(talk page) 00:01, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep. I had some difficulty, too, but this is what I came up with: I searched "Mohammed Adden" and found a forum posting that pointed to this Somali BBC article which has his name as "Mohamed Adan Sheikh" as does this blog. That is not enough to pass WP:V, however, a search of "Mohamed Aden Sheikh" reveals a fair number of GBook hits that appear to confirm that he held high cabinet positions in Somali. (BTW: I noticed the name is very similar to Sheikh Adan Mohamed Nuur Madobe, but they do appear to be different people). Location (talk) 03:11, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment. I've seen "Sheikh" placed before, in the middle, and after the rest of various individuals' names, so a page move might be necessary. I'm interested in others comments on this. Location (talk) 21:35, 7 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep several references establish that he's a former member of parliament and government minister therefore meets both WP:POLITICIAN and WP:GNG. Valenciano (talk) 05:58, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
