Muhammadullah Khan Safi (Kunar)

It's hard to tell based on the poor writing, but I believe this is a biography about a former leader of the Safi tribe in Afghanistan. Unfortunately, no references can be found about this person to verify any facts or to assert notability. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 12:12, 11 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment There is literally nothing on Google but two Wikipedia articles. wiooiw (talk) 12:20, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Reply This was my point. However, we should keep in mind that the person is from Afghanistan and sources in English might not be forthcoming.  Hopefully there are some who can search in other languages.  WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 12:30, 11 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Weak Keep - Needs immediate wikification and to be de-memorialized. Sourcing must also happen, certainly. But do tread lightly on biographies... Carrite (talk) 13:49, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
 * This link puts the bio into context: Safi tribe. Here's my recommendation... Withdraw this AfD nomination and flag up the article for wikification, sources, and style. Give the author some fixed length of time to rectify problems, otherwise bring back to AfD. There's an article here, I think. Putting it into style is just an hour of work. The question is whether it can be sourced out for verifiability. Give them some time. Carrite (talk) 14:05, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

 * Reply I don't think a cleanup is going to help this article. The only fact of any notability that I can find in this article is that Khan Safi was a tribal leader of the Safi Tribe, which is itself a sub-tribe of the Gharghasht tribe of the Pashtun people, an ethnic group in Afghanistan and Pakistan.  The leader of a sub-tribe of a tribe of an ethnic group is unlikely to pass WP:POLITICIAN.  WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 15:29, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
