Article fails WP:GNG. For being notable, the article should have secondary references with in-depth coverage of the topic. Most of the sources just quote him as a spokesperson of a jihad group. ♛♚★Vaibhav Jain★♚♛ Talk Email 15:52, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

  • Keep -- for several reasons, including:
  1. His comment "Islam must rule the world and until Islam does rule the world we will continue to sacrifice our lives." is the canonical statement of the views of the most radical and dangerous splinters of Islam, and has been widely quoted. A merge to Al Badr (India) would be of negative value to those who want to read about him to find out what is known about the author of his widely quoted creed. It would be completely appropriate for an editor of that article to remove coverage of this important statement from Al Badr (India) as being off-topic.
  2. He lead a significant militant group -- one with hundreds of active fighters, and his leadership role is documented through references over a span of close to a decade.
  3. Yes, almost all of us are unsympathetic to his extreme views. But we don`t delete coverage of notable topics simply because we don`t like them. Geo Swan (talk) 19:16, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

::*please see Wikipedia:Arguments_to_avoid_in_deletion_discussions#Personal_point_of_view it would be useful if you can give third party sources that claim notability, just saying WP:ILIKEIT is not enough--DℬigXray 12:42, 9 June 2012 (UTC)

::** I think I already provided references that describe him as the leader of a group which fielded hundreds of fighters. It is my position that leaders of militant groups which field hundreds of fighters, are notable, particularly when coverage of them spans close to a decade. Geo Swan (talk) 14:04, 9 June 2012 (UTC)

  • Delete per nomination: being quoted on a few occasions obviously isn't the level of coverage needed to meet WP:BIO. Nick-D (talk) 01:24, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
  • Delete per nominator and Nick-D, The subject fails wp:GNG due to lack of WP:SIGCOV sources only take the name, which is mentioned in the Al Badr article. --DℬigXray 08:50, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
  • Delete - Obviously fails WP:GNG and WP:BIO. This person has done nothing notable, but only quoted few times on behalf of some thing and this doesn't establish notability. →TSU tp* 15:31, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
