Keep This page should not be speedily deleted because, it is providing information about an important personality about whom people (particularly of the Indian subcontinent) are eager to know. The references in this article itself are enough to keep this article about an Islamic Keynote Speaker and religious leader. Major Indian Newspaper Star of Mysore, Dainik Bhaskar, *Dainik Jagran, Amar Ujala have done several articles meeting wP:SIGCOV on the subject. Here I am mentioning few major points-

Newspaper Star of Mysore and City Today (Newspaper), says that he is a “Islamic Cleric and Scholar from Kachucha Shariff in Uttar Pradesh, will deliver lecture on the life of Prophet Mohammed.”[1][2].
Dainik Bhaskar says, “Islamic scholar Tajul Ulma Syed Muhammad Nooran Mian Ashrafi, on Tuesday, the third day of the 152nd annual Urs in the historic Dargah of Hazrat Khwaja Haji Muhammad Najmuddin in the town, in his statement, highlighted the contribution of the saints of the Chishti sect of Sufism to Indian culture and society. Stating that Sufi saints have an indelible mark on Indian society and culture.”[3]
- “The keynote speakers at the event will be Syed Mohammad Noorani Mian Kichhaucha Sharif and Mohammad Hashmi Noori Nainital UP.”[4].
Dainik Jagran says “Along with this, flowers were showered with slogans on the arrival of Alhaj Mufti Qari Sayyid Muhammad Noorani Mian Ashrafi Jilani, son of the famous Maulana Shahshah Khitawat Sayyid Muhammad Hashmi Mian of Kichouchha Sharif”. [5],
- “Syed Noorani Mian Ashrafi of Kichouchha Sharif, the distinguished guest at the conference held at the Chand Mosque in Utraula, exhorted people to take precautions to protect against Corona”.[6],
- “Syed Muhammad Noorani Mian, who came from Kichhaucha Sharif, said that according to the prophet, every human being should learn Ilm.”[7].
Udaipur times says, “Mass gathering to hear keynote speaker Noorani Mian”[8].
Sanskar News says, “International Islamic scholar Pir Syed Noorani Mian will delive takrir as the chief guest.” [9].
Janta ki awaz says that , “The Bare Foundation of Darul Uloom Ashrafiya Khwaja Garib Nawaz Academy was held in the presence of thousands of people by Hazrat Maulana Syed Noorani Ashraf Kichhachhavi in Salehpur”.[10].*Sanskar News says, “International Islamic scholar Pir Syed Noorani Mian will delive takrir as the chief guest.” [11].
Janta ki awaz says that , “The Bare Foundation of Darul Uloom Ashrafiya Khwaja Garib Nawaz Academy was held in the presence of thousands of people by Hazrat Maulana Syed Noorani Ashraf Kichhachhavi in Salehpur”.[12]. The newspapers are reputed national dailies with considerable reach in multiple states. You can click on newspapers wikilink to read their Wiki article, these all are the evidence that the subject is easily passing wP:GNG, further it may be very helpful for researchers in the field of mysticism, so this page should not be speedily deleted.

You've demonstrated exactly why he isn't notable - all of the sources are press releases or run of the mill announcements, which don't cover him in any depth (or op-eds, so irrelevant also.) Praxidicae (talk) 11:24, 22 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have highlighted just few points from the references, as there are so many sources in hindi language newspaper, if you will try to translate and study the sources then I am sure you will get more information about the person and I am still working on the article to make it good.

Delete. Nobody is suggesting speedy deletion, because there is an allegation of notability. That being said, there is a decided lack of signifiant coverage. The coverage seems mostly to be of the "he is giving a speech" or "gave a speech" variety. Bearian (talk) 17:36, 23 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. No evidence of notability. It is claimed that he is a descendant of a Sufi saint, but even if proved WP:Not inherited. Xxanthippe (talk) 03:26, 24 October 2020 (UTC).[reply]
Comment He follows the sunnah (way of life) of Prophet Muhammad(Peace be upon him) strictly. He teaches and explains Muslims about Islam and Prophet Muhammad (Pbuh). He is spiritually connected, and might know many secrets that we don't. That's why a lot of Muslims follow him and learn from him. These Sufi Islamic Scholars are rare. He does programmes worldwide and spreads info about Islam. He has thousands of followers and Murid across the world. And he is a important figure to all those followers as well other Muslims, but he is the key figure in India. He is also an author and descendant of Prophet Muhammad (Pbuh).Indimpdd (talk) 11:18, 24 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Indimpdd, None of these points are valid rationales to keep an article on the Wikipedia. Have a look at the answer to life, the universe, and everything. ─ The Aafī (^talk) 20:35, 26 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete fails WP:SIGCOV, Few good sources in the article are routine. ─ The Aafī (^talk) 20:33, 26 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
