Shaykh Zain-ul-Aqtab Siddiqi[edit]

A7 speedy was declined but article was redirected to father's. Author undid redirect without explanation. Article reads like a soapbox entry, difficult to tell if anything actually is a claim to notability. Difficult to tell whether anything useful can be found on Google. Suggest deletion unless anyone can find anything worth salvaging as a stub (I can't). Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 11:01, 30 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete -- no google news hits (all dates option), with either spelling of shaykh/sheikh. I've also checked various permutations -- no hyphens at all, hyphen only with ul-Aqtab, "Shaykh Zain", "Shaykh Siddiqi" (and both with sheikh). The fact that this guy is English also lessens the concerns we might have about the spelling of his name. Nomoskedasticity (talk) 22:57, 1 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I could not find anything that would suggest he passes WP:PROF. Wikipedia has only a few articles about Shaykh’s. These are usually for individuals with scholarship accomplishments that would qualify them under WP:PROF or for notability under other WP:N categories. That is, its seems that just being a Shaykh would not be enough to automatically qualify someone as notable under WP:N.--Eric Yurken (talk) 23:21, 2 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
