[edit] Muhammed Shareef

Delete Seemingly non notable "scholar." Article does not establish notability nor can I really find anything which could bring this article to even coming close to WP:BIO. The only thing which I feel remotely establishes any notability is the founding of that institute. I think whether or not that's enough to keep Shareef enyclopedic is questionable eventhough I think that the institute may merit an article. Unfortunately, the institute's website says little to nothing about Shareef. Strothra 13:27, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

• Weak keep I've come across the Hausa language (I may even have read one of the translations about a number song) I am interested to know more and it is a real pity there is not more information on the article. 1500 documents is a fairly large collection. However my keep mostly is a "please lets have something in this area" rather than specifically on Shareef. One possibility is to rename and place under name of institute.

• STRONG KEEP, google variants on his name Muhammed Shareef, Mohammad Shareef, etc and you will see he is "real". And yes it is his insitute Sankore.org --Halaqah 12:06, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete good to know that he is real, but that doesn't mean that he is notable. The only sources so far appear to amount to his own publications. --BrownHairedGirl ^{(talk) • (contribs)} 02:37, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - no evidence of meeting WP:BIO. BlueValour 00:30, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
