Speedy keep Not only is he a Grand Ayatollah, and therefore a very senior cleric, but he is also the head of a significant political party in Iraq. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 19:00, 2 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep. This is one of the biggest Shia scholars in Iraq with great influence. Yes, he has created controversy, and many disagree with him, not just Sunni scholars, but even inside Sia Islam where he belongs. But because of that, all the more reason to keep the article. Admittedly a massive edit was unwarranted changing the balance of the article. But that would be a call to keep and edit the content, rather than call for the deletion of the page. werldwayd (talk) 19:34, 2 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Significant religious and political figure. The large first person voice section could do with being pruned though. AllyD (talk) 20:34, 2 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Of course he's notable as a Grand Ayatollah if nothing else. -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:57, 4 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Keep - He's a Grand Ayatollah ...... Doesn't get more notable than that.
