The subject of this article appears to fail general notability guidelines, as it lacks non-trivial coverage from reliable publications. Steps were taken WP:BEFORE this nomination to locate said sources, but were not successful. Please do not hesitate to contact me should evidence of such coverage be located during the course of this discussion. Regards, Yamaguchi先生 (talk) 00:16, 14 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. The article was created in 2007. The organization has a very broad-sounding name but may be active only in a local area. I think that "redirect" or "merge" (and redirect) are usually better outcomes in AFDs. This "Islamic Forum of Canada" has bought land and is raising monies for a new masjid / mosque, and seems to be located in Brampton, Ontario. There is a "Brampton Mosque" which appears in List of mosques in Canada, I wonder if that is related. Could this article be merged/redirected to a line in the list of mosques in Canada article? Or where else? --do ncr am 01:24, 14 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: only one reference, which is the organization website. There is no indication of meeting WP:GNG. OtterAM (talk) 02:56, 14 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. After searching, however, I find only passing mentions of the mosque/organization, and not anything providing substantial information about it. A few references added since the AFD began, in this version are not substantially about it. (And one of the references, the FrontPage one, seems quite unreliable and inappropriate: it appears to stitch together several quotes, possibly quite out of context, to make an inflammatory accusation against the president of the organization. Whether or not there is any iota of truth in the accusation, reporting this further would be a BLP-violation in Wikipedia.) Best to delete. However, I feel bad for the I.P. editor whose good faith addition of innocuous information (like that the organization meets for prayer on Friday) seems to have brought this article to attention and then to AFD. --do ncr am 04:12, 16 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as simply nothing actually suggesting its own particular notable article. SwisterTwister talk 00:58, 22 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
