The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was no consensus. Note that per WP:NRVE, topic notability is not based upon the state of sourcing in articles, it's based upon the availability of reliable sources. Closing as no consensus due to a lack of adequate discussion regarding the viability of the sources provided early in the discussion. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 20:49, 11 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not familiar with Islam martyrs but I don't see many sources for this to make it notable. A search here found a few results which repeat alot of the article's current information, but again, I'm not sure if this is notable. SwisterTwister talk 17:06, 19 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - no shortage of results when you search his name in Arabic ("حبيب بن زيد بن عاصم") —Мандичка^YO 😜 00:26, 20 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Wikimandia: - Such as what results? SwisterTwister talk 05:41, 20 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Pretty much what you would expect for an ancient Islamic martyr: [1], [2], [3], [4], also referenced in footnote here in English [5], [6] —Мандичка^YO 😜 06:05, 20 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, unless citations are applied I defer to the user above who claimed to find reliable sources in Arabic. Wikipedia still requires that information which is presented must be followed by a citation to the source from which it came. If someone adds citations to the content, then Keep, otherwise, the minimal standards which Wikipedia demands have not been met. Blue Rasberry (talk) 14:28, 22 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep -- That an article needs improvement is no ground for deletion. Not being a Muslim, I have no incentive to improve it myself. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:27, 29 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - as the page is right now, nothing to support it meeting the WP:GNG. I can't tell if this person is apocryphal or historical. mikeman67 (talk) 20:32, 5 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
