Sakzai

An IP is complaining about this article and in fact I see no real sources to verify the context of the article. abf /talk to me/ 13:58, 30 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I believe an indigenous people qualify for inclusion. I referenced and cited the piece. In addition, there is more than enough coverage to expand, as shown here [1], especially when ties into the Taliban are incuded. ShoesssS ^Talk 14:31, 30 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Presumed Delete (Author failed to state contention --Flewis) - The article is a total POV and full of fantasies.--84.59.198.100 (talk) 14:49, 30 November 2008 (UTC) Please note, user subsequently blocked for vandalism [2] [reply]

Comment - I agree the article needs a rewrite - expansion and more sources added. However, that is not a reason for deletion. Regarding the POV that will be taken care of in the rewrite. You are more than welcome to help! Thanks ShoesssS ^Talk 15:07, 30 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep - "I see no real sources to verify the context of the article" - the context is evident following the first sentence: Sakzai are a tribe of Afghanistan mainly living in Nimroz [...]. A simple google search easily refutes the nom. Some sources: [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. WP:JNN is never an effective reason for deletion - and neither is AFD'ing on behalf of somebody else. 'Nuff said --Flewis^(talk) 14:57, 30 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per the many sources Flewis supplied. "I see no real sources to verify the context of the article" is looking like a case of WP:OSTRICH not to mention a violation of WP:DEL#REASON. It took me only 2 seconds to find most of the sources Flewis found.--Oakshade (talk) 17:19, 30 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Post closure comment - I was a bit hard on the nom. It was really the IP who seemed the disrupter here. --Oakshade (talk) 20:05, 30 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep based on the numerous sources found by Flewis. Edward321 (talk) 17:39, 30 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
WP:SNOW Keep: Plenty of reliable sources. Schuym1 (talk) 18:33, 30 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
