This has survived PROD and Speedy Deletion attempts but I think it needs to be looked at again. There is no clear statement of notability although there are claims that could confer notability if they were made more specific and backed up by references. Currently, the only reference does not look like a reliable source and does not seem to have any information about Razaq anyway. This means that we also have a problem with verifiability.

I have tried Googling for his name (although only in English), including the different spellings and leaving out the first name, and not found anything relevant (although there are other people with the same name). The only Afghan I can find of that name is a Taliban field commander called Abdul Razaq who I assume to be a different person. It may be a sad irony that a Taliban Commander is more notable than a peace activist but we can't have articles on non-notable people even if they are praiseworthy.

 * Delete. Can find no information on this person. Christopher Connor (talk) 01:14, 18 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. No evidence of notability (so clearly he was no Oskar Schindler), failure of WP:RS and seems to memorialize subject in the way WP:NOT prohibits. Eddie.willers (talk) 14:17, 18 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Lionel (talk) 05:38, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
