 * Delete — Difficult to find reliable sources (most are religious literature, self-published or user content). — Paleo  Neonate  - 16:14, 16 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Try clicking HighBeam on toolbar. And Note that "religious" sources are not inherently non-reliable.E.M.Gregory (talk) 17:30, 16 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Still not significant coverage in reliable sources. As for the Christian propaganda blogs I was refering to before, they are not reliable sources (but those may not be the ones you were justifying).  I also respect your keep vote.  — Paleo  Neonate  - 18:02, 16 July 2017 (UTC)
 * User:PaleoNeonate, I apologize for commenting on your edit before doing a rudimentary WP:HEYMANN upgrade. Also, it may be the case that you lack access to news archives.  I invite you to take another look at article with new sourcing, or to do a news archive search remembering that notability is WP:NOTTEMPORARY.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:20, 16 July 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep just needs sourcing. Subject was rather extensively covered in books and newspapers,  However, google's PRESENTISM may blinker some editors.E.M.Gregory (talk) 17:30, 16 July 2017 (UTC)
 * WP:HEYMANN. I did a modest expand/source.  Lots more material out there, dude was a bit of a thing on the Danger: Warning! Islam is Bad!  speaking circuit, especially around 2006-7.  Frankly, this looks like an example of editors bringing articles and voting to delete on apparent WP:IJUSTDONTLIKEIT grounds; article ought to simply to have been tagged for sourcing.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:18, 16 July 2017 (UTC)
 * I (or somebody) needs to make time to source and add material on assertions that he invented or inflated his role as a terrorist, well after immigrating to the U.S. and allegedly as a career move. Pretty sure that I did see sources on this in an archive search, and will try to get back to improving the article.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:29, 16 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Added such as section; sourced.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:42, 16 July 2017 (UTC)


 * I think a much larger question is: Is this person sufficiently notable? I see nothing in the article as it is now to establish that he deserves an entry in the Wikipedia. That he has made apparently unsubstantiated claims is not enough. TechBear  &#124; Talk &#124; Contributions 07:50, 17 July 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete for lack of sufficient reliable source that discuss the subject directly and in detail. Does not appear to have achieved anything significant or worthy of note. K.e.coffman (talk) 16:50, 19 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep GNG is met with the sources already present in the article. Jclemens (talk) 03:28, 20 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment -- I would love to keep this article, but I cannot see much of note in it, except the very fact of his conversion, Something that is a rarity as Sharia law prescribes the death penalty for apostacy. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:49, 23 July 2017 (UTC)
