 * Comment. I would argue that this just barely fails WP:A7 but fails WP:BIO. However, he is linked to from List of Ayatollahs; is this person one and the same? If so, this information (that he is an Ayatollah) needs to be added to the page and he would therefore pass WP:BIO. D ARTH P ANDA talk 15:07, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment If this guy is in fact an ayatollah, then that's sufficiently notable for a small article (and he probably is a Shiite, given that he's from najaf. This article fails to even mention that basic fact). However, I can find only one reference to Mazidi Mosque in Kuwait on google -- which is this wikipedia page. The link at the bottom would probably help sort this out to an arabic speaker. If he is not even an ayatollah and does not have some broader cutlural relevance, then being a prayer leader alone is non-notable. There are millions of them. I think policy is lenient, but if I were wikipedia king i would simply delete this article since it's not written anywhere near to acceptable standard.Bali ultimate (talk) 00:54, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Eastern names often have alternative spellings. Perhaps we're looking under the wrong spelling, any guesses on alternatives? - Mgm|(talk) 20:43, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete Doesn't meet any of the criteria for inclusion in Wikipedia, meaning it's not referenced and doesn't establish notability.ChildofMidnight (talk) 17:01, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
