- While I always support and frequently contribute to improving an article, an AfD should be a last resort after the nominator has exhausted all avenues to research and improve an article on a notable topic so that it can be kept. The "I don't see references or links so it's non-notable" is the very definition of WP:OSTRICH. --Oakshade (talk) 17:09, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
- Keep, certainly the head of a particular religion for a country passes notability requirements, and we have had an excellent Heymann by Oakshade and vultureofbook. --Dhartung | Talk 10:44, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
