The result was delete. I have looked at the references, and they do take quotes from Mr Sharif. However, that really isn't a good enough reason to establish notability in and of itself. A number of editors said that he is part of Category:British Muslims, but unfortunately that really isn't a valid argument. For instance, I am an Australian citizen, and I am of the Anglican faith. You would not create an article about me and put me in Category:Australian Anglicans and then say that I am notable. Therefore, this deletion decision has nothing to do with the fact that Mr. Sharif is from Britain, and certainly has nothing to do with the fact that he is a Muslim. It is merely an issue with notability. I would like to point out that just because he is not a notable enough topic for Wikipedia does not detract from the character of Mr Sharif. - Ta bu shi da yu 15:02, 2 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Written by the man himself, nothing to really indicate notability, seems to be part of a WP:ADVERT for Ummah Foods, his chocolate company which itself is of doubtful notability FlagSteward 17:09, 23 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. He may be a successful businessman, but that in itself is not enough to confer notability. Qworty 20:29, 23 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Guys - THis is my first wiki document. Please tell me exactly which part you think is incorrect. There are LOTS of British Muslims listed on wikipedia - Are you suggesting they are all deleted? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ummahfoods (talk • contribs) 13:57, 25 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:British_Muslims —Preceding unsigned comment added by Londonkal (talk • contribs) 14:22, 25 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The only valid point raised on notability has been addressed (which was a fair point!). I've looked at the British Muslim category and this looks as well referenced as any other. I think recognising a person or not is a personal thing, and not much of an argument.
