Delete - whilst being a Sufi saint is presumably an indication of notability, I could not find anything in my WP:BEFORE search on him. The sole reference does absolutely nothing to establish notability. I'm happy to change my vote if clear evidence of notability is presented.

My understanding (please correct me if you know more about the subject and I am wrong) is that there is no central body that declares anyone to be a Sufi saint and publishes the relevant information, such as there is with the Roman Catholic Church, but that such sainthood is just declared by a small group of followers, so I'm not sure that it's even an indication of notability.

I agree with you. In any case, there appears to be no way of verifying that this person is universally recognised as a Sufi saint. They may well have been self-appointed, we can't rule that out. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 17:22, 17 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
