Non-notable person. Article is nearly incohearent so it's hard to tell what is going on here. Law & Disorder 06:57, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

  • Weak Keep It is exceptionally badly written, but it appears this isn't actually about a person, but a sub-clan of a Somali tribe. So if it can be rewritten it might be worth keeping.Alberon 09:03, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep for expansion, as per Alberon's comments. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 13:57, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep for expansion per above. Notify Wikipedia:WikiProject Ethiopia. Consuelo D'Guiche 14:56, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep per Alberon. It is rather badly written, but could assert a great notability when expanded and even a DYK? quote. Rudget Contributions 15:24, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
what do you base your opinion on? i'm seeing a complete lack of evidence. Law & Disorder 03:00, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete No notability or sources. Just seem to be an ordinary extended family. Colonel Warden 22:44, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep It seems notable enough and has the potential to be improved. Captain panda 00:15, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
what potential? can you prove that this is notable and has any potential? should we have articles on every clan that ever existed? Law & Disorder 03:00, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete based on current content and lack of sources. I may reconsider if this article is cleaned up and sourced during the AfD period. --Metropolitan90 05:50, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, no assertion of notability. I don't see what effect extra time could have. Doctorfluffy 22:35, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep. I have edited the article for readability, attempting to divine as best I can the author's intent. I think it's (barely) acceptable in its present form, and I would ask editors reading this to have a look at the new version. Near as I can tell, the subclan is found in Kenya, Ethiopia, and "other african countries", in addition to Somalia. Being found in such a large geographic area is, in my mind, enough to justify some notbility. Obviously, the article needs more work - but the changes I've added justify a keep !vote per WP:HEY.

  • Keep, a passable stub now. GregorB 19:54, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep with further info and sources, will make a good entry.--Alf melmac 23:01, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep- Passable stub as it stands.Hagan jared 02:52, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
