Biography fails WP:ACADEMIC and WP:GNG. No English language sources can be found to indicate any notability for this person. The only references given is to a company for which this person acts as an advisor. The only independent source that could be found indicate that he may have run for local political office 8 years ago, but do not indicate that he won that election.

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete, basically per nom. Insufficient evidence of notability, for satisfying either of WP:BIO or WP:PROF. I don't have a problem with the absence of English language sources, but some independent sources passing WP:V and demonstrating notability are needed. Nsk92 (talk) 07:42, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. His religious title does not seem high enough to be automatically notable (as would I think be true for a grand mufti) and the article presents no evidence that he passes WP:PROF nor WP:GNG. —David Eppstein (talk) 23:05, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
