Historical scholarship does not document, much less discuss, our subject. References are based on local folklore. Jaunpurzada (talk) 15:32, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Local folklore can still be a valid subject assuming the sources are suitable and the information if verifiable. Do the existing sources not check out? The figure is a little hard to search for as it's quite a generic name. There is of course the possibility of alternative spellings, as well as further local language sources.

Comment There does seem to be coverage of his reputed shrine in local media. 𝕱𝖎𝖈𝖆𝖎𝖆 (talk) 16:53, 10 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Ficaia: The existing coverage of our subject seems to always be in reference to the location/holder of tomb. As notability is not inherited, it cannot be shown that our subject is notable enough to have its own article on Wikipedia as an individual and not as a tomb resident.

Delete with the caveat that there might be foreign language sources I don't have access to, I cannot find anything that demonstrates Yuqub himself is notable; anything I found was as mentioned by Jaun above relating to the tomb itself.
