Initially tagged this with PROD, but the creator attempted to include a references section that pointed to this source, which I believe does not meet WP:RS. I'm unable to find any sources other than perhaps unreliable primary sources for the topic. — Andy W. (talk · ctb) 14:32, 23 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Provided sources are self-published and not reliable. These Indian religious articles are always challenging to evaluate, because of inconsistent English spellings and, frankly, the sheer volume of sources that don't meet the project's reliability standards. That said, I'm pretty confident in saying this fails any notability standard, and may indeed be an outright hoax. Searches for "Mohiuddin Ahmad" reveal a lot of clearly unrelated people. Searches for Sufi "saint by birth" provide plenty about Qutbuddin Bakhtiar Kaki and Syed Shah Afzal Biabani, the two historical figures to whom that phrase is generally applied, but nothing suggestive of the current topic. Furthermore, additional digging suggests that the content here is, shall we say, extremely similar to the content from the repeatedly-deleted Syed Mohi ud Din Ahmad Jillani. I'm not able to determine if the same editor is responsible for creating both articles, but the two articles are unquestionably related.

(WP:G4 speedy?) delete: I am quite confident that this is the same subject as the one AfDed here, considering that the current article mentions that "He belongs to 'Gillani' family of 'Syeds'." I additionally agree with Squeamish Ossifrage's determination that this yet-another-local-South-Asian-Muslim saint fails WP:GNG. --HyperGaruda (talk) 11:36, 24 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete as per A7 and G4. Also I have tagged the article for speedy deletion already. Optakeover^(U)(T)(C) 12:45, 24 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
