Weak delete Probably notable, but it's pretty difficult to find any sources. The best I could find was this translated announcement by the Uzbek Academy of Sciences, which also indicates he was elected member of the academy in 1989. However, besides the lack of sources, the article also needs to be moved and copy-edited. --Axolotl Nr.733 (talk) 12:13, 25 October 2011 (UTC) Article has been substiantially edited in the meantime. Sources still are an issue, but I don't see any immediate need for deletion. --Axolotl Nr.733 (talk) 16:00, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: cited things - Elected membership of the Uzbek Academy of Sciences - Street named after him in Nukus and being a noted leprosy scholar. The Russian wikipedia article on which this article is based is sourced to "Vesti Karakalpakstan» № 54 (16188) July 5, 1997 - and their and our article indicates clear pass of notability - Minister of Health of the Republic of Karakalpakstan , Rectorship of a Uni. ,membership of the Supreme Council of the Republic of Karakalpakstan - deputy of the Oliy Majlis. Sourcing in English is difficult but our coverage of central asian things seems very poor and it would be a shame to loose this.(Msrasnw (talk) 00:28, 26 October 2011 (UTC))[reply]
It's difficult for me to tell whether these sources are of any quality. Bare urls hardly help support your arguement. Are these weblinks to reputable sources per wikipedia's policies at WP:Verifiability?4meter4 (talk) 00:41, 26 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Hardly someone will compose such information for any reason. If someone will be interested in person - let them get information. There was no Internet those days and after USSR reformation no printing also. (talk) 18:46, 5 November 2011 (UTC))[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
Keep, Google books on the author Ch. A. Abdirov produces 2 books. Google Nukus "Ch. Abdirov" shows the street named after him. Google Scholar author:Abdirov Produces cited papers. Seems notable.
