Contested prod. Minor politician. The reference inserted in deprodding is a Wikipedia mirror. Delete. Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 15:08, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep both. Party leaders and national political parties are usually notable. This is the Google News archive search for his other name, Amjad Ghafur. This is a Google search for his Arabic name. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 00:56, 27 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Osman Hajy Marouf. Three weeks listed and this is still a BLP with only two sources: one plonks his name in a list; the other doesn't seem to mention him at all and in any case is obviously an unreliable source. This presented by Eastmain appears merely incidental. The Arabic-script sources he/she then provides are just a google list: the reliability of the sources has not been established, nor is it anywhere near clear to what extent the subject is covered by the sources. This BLP is therefore nowhere near passing WP:BIO (or WP:POLITICIAN which also applies). Its retention is totally contrary to policy. --Mkativerata (talk) 02:15, 12 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
