Hate to do this, but I'm having trouble finding anything secondary and independent except the one link to a picture and a passing reference. Nothing in Google News or Books, the web stuff is minimal and secondary (or WP mirrors.) I sympathize with the editor who said in 2007 "we should hang onto this for a while, there's probably something in terms of old books, etc.", but that's been three years. I think it's probably time.

Delete. There is a lack of significant coverage in independent reliable sources. Without that, fails WP:V. Location (talk) 04:40, 14 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment More commonly "Muhammad Jamiu Bulala" (e.g. per his website). The book Arabic Literature of Africa briefly describes him as "a famous scholar and Sufi in Offa, Kwara State" and mentions a 77-verse elegy about him published in 1994 [1]. Not sure whether or not said elegy would be usable as a source if we had access to it. That's about all I can find. cab (talk) 05:18, 14 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

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

Delete- per nom. Maybe the Sheikh is notable, but after 3 years I think that the article can't be kept. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Farhikht (talk • contribs) 15:52, 20 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
