 * Keep. This is why I always tell people that if they have sources, they need to actually put them in the article rather than just dumping them into the talk page or the AfD page. It makes the article look non-notable and odds are usually high that it'll get put back up for deletion because of this. Never assume that someone will come after you and do the work for you. In any case I found some coverage in some academic books as well as a few journal entries for the Book of Mirdad. It looks like it is considered to be one of his more important works, at least in the author's eyes.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 06:02, 18 November 2012 (UTC)
