The result was close, as keep. This AfD was never listed in the logs, but it looks like nom-withdrawn, the notice has already been removed from the article, and it's way over 5 days now. I'm listing it in today's logs for recordkeeping. If anyone wants this deleted, I recommend starting a new AfD. --ais523 13:18, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Shaykh Nazim al-Qubrusi

Shaykh Nazim al-Qubrusi (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

The personality is completely unknown and an advertisement of some Sufi Mystic person and is a violation of WP:BIO policy. Also this page has already been deleted, kindly see here:Sheik_nazim. --TruthSpreader^Talk 05:40, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Although there is some chap who's spamming WP with shaykhnazim2.com links, Shaykh Nazim himself is a rather prominent person. Check here [1]. --Nkv 06:27, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

I am talking about this very chap(s) who is/are spamming wikipedia with this link. This article has already been deleted. He is not notable according to any criteria as per WP:BIO. TruthSpreader^Talk 06:34, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Im not sure if google is the right place to search for info regarding a "master and spiritual guide of the Naqshbandi Sufi Order" born in 1922 ... --Striver 06:58, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

I'm confused. Can you tell me why Shaykh Nazim is not noteworthy enough? The Naqshabandi Tariq is rather widespread across the world and Shaykh Nazim is one of the oldest shaykhs of the Tariqa currently alive. --Nkv 07:00, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

My assessment is according to WP:BIO. TruthSpreader^Talk 07:16, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

• keep - Shaikh Nazim is amongst the most well known Sufis in North America today. What exactly is it about the article that violates WP:BIO? According to Google Scholar, he has been referenced in several scholarly works. (But can someone please do something about the guy who keeps spamming with the shaykhnazim2.com link?) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Barastert (talk • contribs)

You have convinced me here! How can I stop this afd? TruthSpreader^Talk 08:13, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

• Speedy close per above. --Striver 11:33, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. Mr. Nazim al-Qubrusi is a very prominent Sufi Scholar of North America. I understand due to his past links with Hisham Kabbani (probably the most hated North American by Wahhabies) they would hold a grudge against him as well. The votes for speedy deletions would be more of a very biased POV. (I would not understand why a Shia would share that grudge. Please educate me). I would vote to keep the article about everyone I would hate, and not call him not notable. I would however vote for removal of Honorific title Shaykh from the title.

Speedy close does not mean speedy delete, only that the afd should be closed, obviously as a keep since the nom has been withdrawn. peace. --Striver 18:48, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
