Mullah Allawi

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

A biographical article of someone supposedly born in 1811 that shows that person in a photograph wearing sun glasses? That piqued my interest. Two of the reference links are duds, the third links to a sports news website. The article as it stands is relatively long but has only one edit in it's history.

All of this raised my suspicions but none of it warranted a speedy delete IMHO so I'm throwing it out for an AfD instead. rannṗáirtí anaiṫnid (coṁrá) 14:30, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment The same user also created الملا علاوي, which this might be a machine translation of. Since this article's kind of incoherent, it might be wisest to wait and see if anyone at pages needing translation can work out who this guy is, whether he's real, and whether he's notable. — Hysteria18 (Talk • Contributions) 17:10, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment: Mullah is a title in the Islamic clergy, and normally not an actual first name. So it would be interesting to see if there is a person named Alawi to whom this could be redirected. Even if it is not this person. --  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 21:29, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Detele No sources cited, no ghits, and a confused mess of an article. - Simon Dodd { U·T·C·WP:LAW } 20:15, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as incoherent and unsalvageable. If this person is notable, then we are better off with a blank slate than whatever it is that currently present. -- Whpq (talk) 16:22, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
