Okay, maybe I'm missing something. Not one of the existing citations appears to mention the subject. The last two of which are simply a blog. Searches turned up zero on any of the engines. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 02:50, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: only working links are in Arabic (yes I know foreign-language links are not automatic causes for disqualification) which, however, have not been translated to clarify how this individual is notable. Article as it currently stands does not demonstrate notability. Quis separabit? 02:56, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Searches do not turn up zero. There are different spellings of his name, such as Sheikh Qusay Abu S’id. Blogs are not disreputable on the Arabic web as they are on the English web. Several notable scholars working in Islamic Studies in the West are students of Sayyid Quṣayy, who is well known in Iraq (try putting his name into a search engine in Arabic). If you search the websites that constitute the references in notes 6 and 7 (using Sayyid Quṣayy and Sheikh Qusay respectively), you will see that two such scholars derive their scholastic credentials from him. The entry will be expanded and better referenced when time allows. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Şahn-ı seman 1240 (talk • contribs) 19:49, 8 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
