Keep One of the founders of a major Sufi order. I have verified many of the statements in the article from reliable sources, and suspect that most of the rest may be verifiable too. PWilkinson (talk) 07:46, 22 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

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

keep not only do the autogenerated links in this afd show a number of reliable sources for the importance of this fellow, the article itself, while poorly written, is not badly sourced as it stands. as PWilkinson says, he was one of the founders of a major and early sufi order. this definitely belongs in wp. — alf.laylah.wa.laylah (talk) 00:13, 24 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
keep Hard to tell for sure, but looks like a notable historical figure. North8000 (talk) 11:57, 24 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
