Syed Abdul Rasheed Koya Thangal

 * – ( View AfD View log )

"great Islamic saint who lived in the Indian subcontinent". No sources in article, and can find no reliable ones. Christopher Connor (talk) 09:58, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete no reliable source found on google. Sehmeet singh (talk) 14:09, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete as failing verifiability unless someone can at least find a reliable source. Then we could discuss notability, and whether there are sufficient reliable and independent sources to satisfies WP:BIO. The article does not even state when he lived, but claims that "He has thousands of devotees around Sri-Lanka and India." That being the case, there should be numerous sources available. Perhaps someone could search in likely non-English references for India. Nothing turns up for the name (as spelled) at Google Book search or Google scholar. Leaving out various of his names might generate spurious matches. Edison (talk) 19:13, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

 * Speedy delete per lack of notable sources, none of which were found on Google and Yahoo except for social networking sites. SwisterTwister   talk  05:21, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
