I would just like to say: I've spoken to Kalbe Jawad on this issue. His himself has confirmed that his name is transliterated as "K"able Jawad, not Qalbe Jawwad as some people put. Furthermore, he has confirmed his name means Dog of Jawad. Visit his website and telephone him for more information Official Website. Same goes for the name of his father, grandfather, uncles, brother and cousins.

[edit] Not encyclopedic

There are no independent sources. Even if the article is allowed to be its first sentence has a hanging verb, later "he has studied" is unclear - "he studied" or "he has been studying" or whatever is more precise and less open to ambiguity. The above unsigned comment contradicts the article to such a degree that corrective action is needed. The claim that the subject's fame rests in part on discovering hidden meaning in a soft drink logo does nothing to render him credible, the logo appeared long before the inhabitants of the USA thought of a certain religion, if they they thought of it at all, except as just belonging to the 1001 nights.--SilasW 21:37, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Notability

I vote strongly for inclusion. He's a reasonably important Shi'a scholar (quite important in India). I think there's no question he's notable enough for inclusion in wiki; a thousand Google hits on just one transliterated spelling of his name is one bit of evidence. I came to Wiki looking for information on him after reading that he'd urged a fatwa against suicide bombers.

re: the Kalb/Qalb كلب discussion, I must say when I first saw the paragraph saying he was the 'Dog of Jawwad' I was sure it was vandalism. Dog is universally an insult in the Islamic world. That paragraph definitely warrants further discussion of how he got the name...jackbrown (talk) 09:20, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
