 * Delete. No sources, no notability. Xxanthippe (talk) 06:21, 4 October 2009 (UTC).
 * Weak keep. The real problems identified by Xxanthippe (i.e. sources, details) seem to be a matter of the article being a stub, not of notability of the subject.  Nanotwi is at least purported to be the (co-)founder of a important university, which is important enough to merit an article.  Giving the benefit of the doubt that the claim is actually true, this should be {expand} not delete.  LotLE × talk  01:49, 5 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Just to note - it would be hard to classify Nanotwi as an educator, educationist or academic. The benefit of the doubt is a subjective matter, which this individual does not merit as far as I can see. Rms125a@hotmail.com (talk) 15:25, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

 Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:21, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep at least until there has been a proper search for sources in the appropriate languages--the Pashto WP article is substantially fuller, and seems to provide the appropriate information for notability, including his publications. Tentatively, I would accept their judgment.    DGG ( talk ) 03:51, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - I see no indication of notability. Shadowjams (talk) 10:51, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

 * Redirect to another article for the same person Muhammad Qasim Nanotvi, there are sufficient reliable source references for the biography, so much so that there's even dispute on his year of birth! Between three spelling variations - Qasim Nanotvi, Qasim Nanotwi and Qasim Nanautawi there exist almost 300 Gbooks references. So it's an easy keep if one were to bring the other article to AfD. - Spaceman  Spiff  04:07, 9 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Redirect: Agree with Spaceman  Spiff . As nominator I would hold that since another article for the same person exists then this stub can and should be simply redirected. Rms125a@hotmail.com (talk) 14:43, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
