Keep - Nom should clearly state his case for lack of notability, because I don't see it. Roodog2k (talk) 17:05, 25 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment How can it be a personal biography of somebody who died fifty years ago and thus 39 years before Wikipedia existed? Keresaspa (talk) 18:31, 25 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: I found no sources to verify any of the information. SL93 (talk) 18:53, 25 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
It's nearly all in the external inks at the bottom of the page, especially this one. The quality of those sources is another matter but they do exist. Keresaspa (talk) 21:17, 25 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
There are those links, but I don't waste time reading obvious useless sources. That website is bias as it is from the organization Correct Islamic Faith. I also don't know their qualifications for accurate information. SL93 (talk) 21:23, 25 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Perhaps, more information about this individual might be found in books, as opposed online. Thunderite (talk) 17:30, 30 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Yes there are a lot of non English sources available that are not found online, this does not necessarily mean that the person is not famous or is not influential. The person who placed the deletion tag seems to have a biased view of the author, he must remember that his personal view does not count here. He is stressing that it is an unimportant article of an unimportant person. For him he maybe unimportant but there maybe a lot of people who came to know about the author via wikipedia.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Keep - References are external,article needs citations, but This does not necessarily means that the person is not notable or influential. The personality is very famous in Hyderabad (India). Most of the resources are in Urdu (hard copies) and not electronically available at the moment but there has been efforts to do that, hence the article may lack precise citations. I am sure all the references will be available soon and henceforth citations will be made precisely. I urge wikipedia not to delete this page.Shafi Chishti (talk) 18:51, 2 June 2012 (CEST)
Keep - Abdul Qadeer Siddqi is the most famous person in India, he is known as the ocean of knowledge and he he is the professor of arabic in osmania university. I urge Wikipedia not to delete this page.Azamuddin Mohammed (talk) 16:10, 3 June 2012 (AST)
While I'm inclined to agree that he is notable (and the article worth keeping), saying that he is the most famous person in India is pushing it a bit, don't you think? Put it another way, if he were indeed the most famous person in India we wouldn't be having this debate. UltraExactZZSaid~ Did 12:22, 4 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - A lot of non-English references are available which have not been produced online but this does not mean that the personality is not famous or is 'unimportant' (as quoted by the person placing the deletion tag). So please keep this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Siddiqui qadri (talk • contribs) 07:28, 5 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
