Non-notable person from Islamic history. Only claim to fame from article is that he was offered to Abu Talib ibn ‘Abd al-Muttalib as an adoptive son in exchange for Muhammad to be killed. Well, the offer was not accepted and I do not think this person is notable at all. Cannot find any source that hints at his doing anything else that is notable Raziman T V's Alternate account (Talk - Contribs) 13:07, 16 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep if the significance can be developed, otherwise merge with Abu Talib ibn ‘Abd al-Muttalib. --Sainge.spin (talk) 06:08, 17 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete we can't keep an BLP article in the hopes that one day the person will become more significant or notable. As it stands no notability. The article can be re-created at a later date if significance or notability changes. Nefariousski (talk) 22:16, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment: This is not a BLP (Biography of a Living Person), this article is about a person from Islamic history who lived 1,400 years ago. Wine Guy Talk 00:34, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep or merge. Really this article doesn't say much. It shouldn't be deleted but a merge may make sense. -- Banjeboi 06:36, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. This person is "part of the enduring historical record" (see WP:ANYBIO) of Islam, and has been for more than a millennium. The article needs expansion, that is not a reason to delete. Wine Guy Talk 00:49, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
