The result was delete. There are plenty of assertions of notability, but no evidence provided.

Keep. Mawlana Talha was a notable alim. Aaqib Anjum Aafī (^talk) 05:36, 1 March 2020 (UTC) Notable Deobandi scholar. Needs improvement in references. Aaqib Anjum Aafī (^talk) 10:18, 7 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Authordom: Newspapers and news media only write obituary articles or as you call them 'death news' about notable leaders or people, not about ordinary people like me. Do they? This person's obituaries were written by independent sources in Hindi and Urdu languages. Wikipedia also accepts sources in Hindi and Urdu languages. @AaqibAnjum: has found 5 additional sources listed above by him. Ngrewal1 (talk) 17:35, 8 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, sources available, need more citations in english --Irshadpp (talk) 22:21, 5 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails WP:GNG and WP:NOTINHERITED and after going through the all 5 references could not find a single indepth reference all of them are about his death. Now there are thousands of Islamic scholars in India it is not clear as how the particular subject is notable.

Comment this has been relisted several times already but I do not see any policy based valid argument to keep this article. KartikeyaS (talk) 07:22, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
