WP:BLP1E. Coverage of this person is limited to one recent event. Policy is clear: Where a person is mentioned by name in a Wikipedia article about a larger subject, but essentially remains a low-profile individual, we should generally avoid having an article on them.

 * Keep I was ready to accept the nominator's reasoning but when investigating the subject of the article I see that he has a long history of controversy and media coverage. I added a reference to an event in 2006 where he issued a fatwa and was investigated by the Egyptian judicial system.  For some reason Google news is not pulling up all the news articles that a regular Google search is and I'm only looking in English. He's not exactly a household name but still notable.

 * Keep - The 'bad boy list' isn't a random selection of people, it's a list of extremely notable individuals.  Expand the article to improve coverage of the individual. Andrewjlockley (talk) 00:36, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
