[edit] Zafar Bangash
Not notable. Article is mostly quotes from the subject's own writings. "Quote farm" according to one person Shatt al-Arab (talk) 15:26, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
- Keep and cleanup -- clearly notable:
- Google News search: 4 press mentions in the last 30 days
- Google News archive search: 31 more press mentions
- Keep: there are clearly sources for the article, but the article needs rewriting so it's not just a collection of quotes. However, the nom's argument of non-notability doesn't hold. Justin chat 17:15, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

- Keep: Shatt al-Arab has an opinion but that is no reason to delete this page. The quotes are properly sourced and taken in context. When citing controversial comments, quoting is much better than paraphrasing.(Hyperionsteel (talk) 22:46, 13 December 2007 (UTC))
