Does this Mulay deserve an article?

The names of perhaps several hundred Mongol commanders appear in the primary sources. Why does this Mulay deserves his own article? We possess none of the information normally present in biography. We know only that he was active at the beginning of the 14th century and participated in an invasion of the Levant. This article at best ought to be a permanent stub. The same could be said for Kutlushah. Aramgar (talk) 16:42, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Concur with merge to Mongol raids into Palestine. I'm not seeing enough independent information here to justify a separate article. --El on ka 22:24, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This article ought to be merged rather than made a "permanent stub". Aramgar (talk) 23:03, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Cleanup

Since the article was not deleted via AfD, I took a stab at cleaning things up. I removed much of the information that had nothing to do with Mulay, thinned out the references to a combination of those actually used, plus a "recommended reading" section, and combined a lot of other duplicated information. I'll also take a look through my sources to see if I can find anything else that actually mentions Mulay. --El on ka 23:01, 1 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
