Delete. After quite a bit of searching, I could not find any coverage of the subject by independent reliable sources. Nsk92 (talk) 22:17, 17 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Notability not apparent. Much of the article seems a copy of the subject's web site. Xxanthippe (talk) 22:33, 17 July 2011 (UTC).[reply]
Comment. He does appear to be a somewhat well-known Qāriʾ (Koran reciter); there are several YouTube videos featuring him: [1], [2], [3]. Also, this:[4] OTOH, it's hard to tell if some of these TV appearances are from media sources significant enough to count as reliable, independent, third-party sources. In any case, the article is largely undocumented. --Chonak (talk) 23:07, 17 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Youtube does not qualify as a reliable source per WP:V, and cannot be used for establishing notability. If there are any sources passing WP:V covering him, they are yet to be produced. Nsk92 (talk) 01:46, 18 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment -- Chonak is correct. The Koran is shorter than the bible, and kids compete to be the young memory prodigy who can memorize the whole Koran. One of the Guantanamo captives had been a memory prodigy in his youth, who traveled around reciting the Koran, to heads of State. I gather that photogenic memory prodigies, who have good speaking voices, and a good agent, can earn quite a bit of coin. I gather there are awards, or informal gifts for the prodigy.
It is possible references can be found to substantiate Abdul Kabeer Haidary`s notability. Geo Swan (talk) 00:31, 18 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Unless such references, passing WP:V requirements and independent of the subject, are actually found and produced, this is just a speculation. Nsk92 (talk) 01:46, 18 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Delete as an unambiguous copyright infringement of this, published prior to the create date of this article, and carrying all rights reserved notice. Steamroller Assault (talk) 04:43, 18 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as per Nsk92, Steamroller Assault unless someone comes actually up with refs that satisfy WP:GNG. In any way the copyvio needs to be removed as quickly as possible. IQinn (talk) 05:11, 18 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Based on this advice, I have tagged the article itself for speedy deletion, as it is entirely copied from the source website. Steamroller Assault (talk) 05:31, 18 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
