Islamic Research Foundation (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

  • Keep with severe warning about finding verifiable independent sources per guidlines. tho i agree it looks suss, i believe nominator is being heavy handed: correctly flags {{notablility}} then the very next day puts it on AfD. this is hardly fair, cld be grounds for speeding this process? → bsnowball 14:46, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge with Zakir Naik. There's no justification for a separate article on this man's foundation. The only claim to notability that the foundation can make is the work by Zakir Naik. A brief and tasteful article about him that mentions the foundation is all that is needed. Oh, yes, and in addition to the copyright issues, this article is a POV disaster. All the more reason to tighten things up and merge into one article. OfficeGirl 18:27, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
