Sabzar Bhat

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Not notable beyond news reports of his death Stephen 00:19, 3 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep. Leader of Hizbul Mujahideen is a significant figure, given the importance to the Kashmir conflict. It's a work-in-progress. His death also sparked unrest and a diplomatic protest from Pakistan. PvOberstein (talk) 01:18, 3 June 2017 (UTC)

 *  Keep Comment . (Hope I'm doing this right, never encountered a "Relist" before. I previously stated my opinion above, so please don't double-count this). The subject of the article was the commander of a militant organization, who has been in the news for several years, and who's death caused diplomatic protests and days of unrest. Is he Osama bin Laden-level of importance? No. But he's more than a random criminal, and a detailed history of the the modern Kashmir conflict would likely at least make reference to him. Several other articles link here, and the article is well-sourced. PvOberstein (talk) 18:32, 11 June 2017 (UTC)
 * I believe the purpose of a relisting is to invite opinions from more editors (rather than the same ones again). Maproom (talk) 07:33, 13 June 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep. Good evidence of notability, e.g. "Sabzar Ahmad Bhat — who is believed to have replaced Burhan Wani as the Hizbul Mujahideen’s operational chief in Kashmir — remains one of the top-rated militants of the outfit." Maproom (talk) 07:33, 13 June 2017 (UTC)
