 * Delete one line stub that has had a clean up tag on it since Sept. 2005. No sources, so fails WP:V (only 'source' is this image). Fails to establish WP:N. A google search comes up with only 24 matches. Jersey Devil 22:45, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. If he's notable someone will have to write a better article than that, later.  But it looks like he's not.  If someone can rescue the article or at least add some serious references, I'll change my vote. NTK 23:04, 13 April 2006 (UTC) Keep.  Still needs a lot of work, but at least there's something to go on.  NTK 20:00, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Muslim scholar that wrote notable book, fullfills WP:BIO in having a audience. Hard to find sources for Arabic writers on english. Is Wikipedia runing out of hardrive space? Let the article be untill someone with more expertice arives. --Striver 00:44, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per Striver. Nominated as part of Jersey Devil's long-running crusade against Striver. The book is notable enough, and thereby its author. Lambiam Talk 01:05, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
 * As is, this is a substub which says nothing to notability other than the fact that he's a scholar and published a book. Lots of scholars publish books.  This man could be anyone.  Could we at least get a year of birth, a date of publication, some links about this guy and a sentence or two about the subject matter of the book? As is there is no context.

 * Thanks! NTK 20:01, 14 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep. Striver is correct on this, it is very difficult to find reliable sources in English on foreign authors and scholars, especially those from the subcontinent. This scholar is actually one of the most famous scholars within the Tablighi Jamaat organization in the middle of the 20th century. The article, though still a stub, is now referenced and defends the individuals notability. Pepsidrinka 14:19, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Better references will emerge in time. What we have at the moment is a start. --Tony Sidaway 00:35, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
