Fails WP:ACADEMIC ,WP:AUTHOR ,WP:PROF, and WP:SIGCOV. All the sources are linked to Darul Uloom Deoband lacks third party sources. WP:SIGCOV needs to be in WP:RS AND WP:IS which the article lacks.Mumbaigold (talk) 05:13, 21 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, the nominator without performing any BEFORE is nominating articles related to Deoband seminary, even after their notability is widely established. It is enough for the subject, Syed Mehboob Rizwi, that his book on the history of Darul Uloom Deoband is widely cited. A number of citations can be found here, though not all. And with a different spelling Sayyed Mehboob Rizwi here. Also, the main source of the biographical information is Nayab Hasan Qasmi's book, and it is no way connected with Darul Uloom Deoband. Being a significant contributor to, Monthly Al-Burhan, a known journal started by Saeed Ahmad Akbarabadi, numerous copies of which are in the Central Library of Jamia Millia Islamia and other universities, is enough to demonstrate notability. The article just needs reference improvements, rather than being deleted. ─ The Aafī (^talk) 07:23, 21 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Fails WP:GNG, but can be argued that meets WP:PROF since his work has been cited. — Ad Meliora ^Talk∕_Contribs 19:00, 21 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment fails WP:PROF Darul Uloom Deoband is not recognized university in India.His book is not used in academic work to pass WP:PROF.Mumbaigold (talk) 05:20, 22 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Mumbaigold, A normal google search with different spellings would reveal how much the subject's work has been cited in academic works. Your comment just shows that you are biased towards the Deoband seminary. The Darul Uloom Deoband seminary is a known Islamic seminary and has been one of the major Islamic institutions in India. I would agree that, "it is not a UGC recognized university", but Islamic institutions either primary, secondary or higher, for the time being don't require UGC affiliation because they've their own system, and UGC is completely different. Also, Muslims call it a university because it offers higher religious education. A Google search with, Mahbub Rizwi spelling shows a number of works where Rizwi's works are cited, the Mahboob Rizwi spelling shows more. We can use other spellings as well. Usage in Urdu academic works would be more. I doubt that you are someone's sockpuppet who has nothing to do here but to get the Deoband related articles deleted. ─ The Aafī (^talk) 07:47, 22 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Whether Darul Uloom Deoband is a university or not is not relevant to the notability of this subject. This subject's works have been cited. — Ad Meliora ^Talk∕_Contribs 19:45, 22 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: as per the added sources and very clearly nominator not doing WP:BEFORE before nominating. Roller26 (talk) 06:34, 23 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
