Keep The refs in the article itself are enough to keep this article about an Islamic preacher and religious leader. Major Indian Newspaper Amar Ujala, Dainik Jagran, Hindustan Dainik have done several articles meeting wP:SIGCOV on this subject. let me provide some major quotes. [1] says "he was a major islamic scholar and a messenger of religous unity", "lakhs of people from Shamli and adjoining districts joined the funeral procession".[2] Hindustan Dainik says, "lakhs of people following Islam and other religions joined the funeral",[3] "his funeral procession was attended by the local administration, politicians and a huge crowd from several neighbouring districts", [4] says "Mourning ceremonies were even conducted by Hindu leaders in Delhi", [5] says "he had more than 50 thousand students over his lifetime", "Has several lakh followers in India and abroad", "established more than 25 Islamic schools" Dainik Jagran says that politicians used to visit him for meetings [6]. All these are clear evidence that the subject is easily passing wP:GNG. ⋙–DBig Xrayᗙ 16:49, 24 February 2020 (UTC) (updated ⋙–DBig Xrayᗙ 09:11, 25 February 2020 (UTC))[reply]
