The page has references from YouTube. Also this article is of the person who is not followed by many. References of not known sources is against the Wikipedia guidelines. A man born in India is denouncing something of the country which is ten thousand miles away from him, is just for publicity which has nothing to do with his religious thoughts. Also this person is uneducated and therefore has is a layman just like others. If Wikipedia will start writing articles of such persons then every ones' page will be in Wikipedia. It is therefore highly recommended for speedy deflection. he is totally ignorant having no knowledge of religion, moreover he has very few followers that too for minting money from them, so he don't deserve to be on Wikipedia — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shabirpaswal (talk • contribs) 04:59, 16 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Automated comment: This AfD was not correctly transcluded to the log (step 3). I have transcluded it to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2022 September 16. —^{cyberbot I}_{Talk to my owner:Online} 08:02, 16 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I don't necessarily think this person meets notability guidelines, but even if he did the article itself is a mess that would need serious work to bring it up to snuff. It looks like the personal project of just one or two editors beefing up the number of references by linking the exact same news stories literally dozens of times.

Comment Brief mentions of his arrest in the Hindu Times and a few other sites, nothing we can use for notability here. Might be found in the local language? Oaktree b (talk) 15:46, 16 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
There's nothing in Kashmiri language and I did not find anything useful in Urdu language either. This scholar has a local type of notability for defo, but we need significant coverage in reliable and independent sources over a brief period of time. Despite the nomination being a bad one (I consider it, and feel some lines from the nom should be redacted as they indicate abuse and vilification) but nonetheless notability isn't demonstrated. I'd prefer delete but wouldn't disagree with redirecting it to Tehreek-e-Soutul Awliya of which the subject is founder. Regards, ─ The Aafī (talk) 06:02, 17 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect: Upon checking the sources, I don't find any good coverage that stands for a separate article of this subject. The better ATD is redirection to Tehreek-e-Soutul Awliya.❯❯❯ Chunky aka Al Kashmiri (✍️) 08:13, 17 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
