Delete as unverifable. Although there are numerous citations given, almost all of the article seems to be effectively based on a single source, and the citations given seem to be insufficient to track that source down, either online or in libraries. The name of the author cited also seems to be that of the Wikipedian who created the article; are they literally just citing themselves as source, over and over?

(I'd also note that another article the same editor created, Umar Bakkalcha, also shows the same citation pattern, and it might well be worth examining all of their contributions further.) — The Anome (talk) 08:43, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
