[edit] Ghayyour

Ghayyour (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

No evidence of notability, article is original research. The references for this article consist entirely of links to Bible verses in various languages, which do nothing to establish the notability of the name "Ghayyour." The article states that the word is a translation of the words jealous and zealot into Urdu, Persian and Arabic. That very well may be, but this still does not establish its notability as a word for an English language article. A Google search [1] for the word turns up many links to discussion/guestbook posts by the author of this article (Rana Ghayyour Ahmed) but nothing about any notable people who share the name. Besides, "Ghayyur" appears from this search to be the more common spelling. There are Wikipedia articles about certain names (Such as Chen (surname)), but there is no evidence that this name is notable enough to have its own article. At present, Wikipedia has no articles about anyone named by the more common Ghayyur variant [2], which would indicate that it is not a common enough name to have its own article. The only articles about Ghayyour are this one, and another one about a non-notable person (See this AfD), both authored by the same editor, User:Ghayyour. Nick Graves 00:53, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. Normally, a common name is a sufficiently notable topic for an article, but not this one - the lack of incoming links and relevant external ones shows a lack of notability. Since it happens to be the name of the article's creator, I'm guessing this is a vanity article. Terraxos 03:52, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Non notable. This article also deleted under WP:CSD twice before.--NAHID 07:14, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
