The result of the debate was - kept
Apparently not notable, since the first person to mention him onsite, the writer of the article, doesn't like him: if he were notable, one would expect an admirer to be the first. Google finds 24 instances of him online. A weak delete. — Bill 19:40, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Just a comment. Strange logic here. I wouldn't go accusing whoever started Hitler, Stalin, Kim Il-Sung, Myra Hindley, Son of Sam, etc. of liking the person they're writing about - though they're all notable. Jongarrettuk 20:17, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Umm, yeah, makes sense.... Still (to get back to the crux of it) do you think this one's notable?
- He is notable enough to be mentioned under the article Grand Mufti (link doesn't work though because a different form of his name was used...)
Delete- Being an imam with delusions of grandeur isn't enough to be notable. Does anyone take him seriously? I may be willing to be convinced of his notability with evidence. --Improv 22:27, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)
He is a very notable figure in Australia and merits an article. The reason for the low Google rating is possibly that there are a number of variant spellings of his name. This article is crap but the solution to that is to rewrite it, not delete it. Adam 00:18, 7 Oct 2004 (UTC)
I have now done some work on the article and it should be taken off this list. Adam 00:48, 7 Oct 2004 (UTC)

- Keep after rewrite. —siroχo 03:10, Oct 7, 2004 (UTC)
- Keep as rewritten. --Cje 06:27, 7 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Keep now: that's a very fine article, Adam! — Bill 11:38, 7 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Keep rewrite. Excellent work on it! =) --Andylkl 15:30, 7 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Keep English language media needs more NPOV information about Islam. Alberuni 16:50, 7 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Keep. Looks more clear that he's actually notable. --Improv 03:10, 8 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Keep, the world needs to know about this madman. IZAK 09:08, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)
