Omar Suleiman (Imam)[edit]

I fail to see the importance or relevance of this guy. I have looked up coverage on him on Google and a good number of the top hits that appeared in my search originate from what I assume to be unreliable sources (forums and such). Most of the very few sources used here are either local or unreliable. This article has been around since late July and there have been no attempts by the creator or anyone else to improve the article, so I can only assume there's nothing more to do.

As Saheehinfo once said in an edit summary, this guy's notability only seems to stem from him speaking at an event dedicated to the five police officers killed in Dallas. In that case, any reasoning for notability is very poor in accordance to WP:ONEEVENT, as he seemed to have only a minor role in the aftermath of that shooting.

Delete speakers at memorial events very rarely if ever become notable for doing so. Nothing about Suleiman suggests otherwise.John Pack Lambert (talk) 05:48, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Other claims to notability (see the edit war) amount to being mentioned as an example of hate speech, with no actual discussion that gives the basis for any reasonable article that isn't essentially a BLP violation. Damnatio memoriae, already. Revent^talk 19:12, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
