 * Weak keep: there's some indication that the author is notable (see e.g. ), which would be considerably strengthened if the claim to be a bestselling author can be verified. However, I agree with the nom that as it stands, the article is an obvious WP:COATRACK and needs considerable work. Scog (talk) 08:09, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. The article does not demonstrate notability, and is in fact little more than a very long string of unsupported assertions.  Also, I agree with the WP:COATRACK claims. Qworty (talk) 22:00, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. The New Straits Times says he's a "best-selling scribe" ; Bernama says he's a "renowned Islamic children's book author" ; if reliable sources say he's notable, then he's notable for Wikipedia. If coatracking is a problem the solution is editing, not deletion. Phil Bridger (talk) 20:00, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
