[edit] Prof. Axmed Warfaa

No real claim of notability (outspoken, defiant). Seems to be/was a Somali professor [1] but I can find nothing in English to support his notability. No publications that I can see.

• He might be notable and verifiable, just not to English speakers. --Quarl 20:06, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment. Language is not really a barrier here. With the worldwide scope (and readership) of Wikipedia, I'm sure that someone who reads Italian (another official language of Somalia) would have no problem finding articles in that language for this individual if such articles on the Web exist. The fact remains that to assert notability, there needs to be references to indicate it, regardless of language. B.Wind 20:59, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Google found 3 unique hits, that may or may not be the professor. Publications are not listed. Article fails to assert notability of this person. — TheKMan^talk 20:12, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
