Shikh Khazal AL-Kabi

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This is not an encyclopedic article. Only a huge list of names and it does not have a neutral point of view. A lot has to be done in order for this article to stay. Natuur12 (talk) 13:02, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

 * Comment. A truly revolting article, but the individual it describes is clearly notable. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:58, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Merge per PWilkinson below. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:35, 12 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep Major-General of the Imperial persian army. Clearly notable. Will have to be extensively researched and referenced though beyond the two weblinks so far given. Should be possible via our British colleagues' information (User:David Underdown can you help at all?) Buckshot06 (talk) 10:37, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment This article isnot nominated because the person isnot notable but because the article is a mess. Another solution would be to turn this article into a stub with just the basic info. Natuur12 (talk) 14:55, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete or very selective merge to Khaz'al al-Ka'bi. The subject certainly seems to be notable, but we have a far better (if slightly under-referenced) article on him already. The one thing that might be worth moving is the portrait, if its own deletion discussion establishes that we have the permissions needed to use it. Otherwise - unreferenced, looks as if it has been copied from somewhere (though possibly somewhere old enough to be out of copyright), does not seem to add anything useful to what we already have.
