Sharifuddin Khalifa

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Only has 2 references one saying the other is a hoax, a Google search only reveals biased or unreliable sources. May be a hoax. Was restored as a contested PROD. - McMatter (talk)/(contrib) 17:48, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete The kid may be a faker promoted by the people around him, as one of the references claims, or he may be a prodigy according to the hard-to-believe claims in the only Reliable Source provided, "Scotland on Sunday". From Wikipedia's standpoint it doesn't matter. What does matter is that he is not notable. There are absolutely no Reliable Sources found about him at Google or Google News, with the sole exception of the article from Scotland on Sunday. If he really has been touring the world and converting thousands, as claimed, then there should be sources documenting his appearances, and his article should stay here regardless of whether we believe him to be a miracle or a fraud. Since such sources have not been found, the article should be deleted as non-notable. --MelanieN (talk) 22:59, 25 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. Agree with MelanieN... whether he is legitimate or a fraud, there does not appear to enough coverage in WP:RS to substantiate either side of that coin and write an encyclopedic article about him. Ultimately non-notable. -- Kinu t /c  18:02, 26 September 2010 (UTC)
