Non-notable. By author's admission, better sources aren't available, and BEFORE certainly finds nothing. None of the three sources cited meets the GNG standard, and the external links provided aren't any better. Has been repeatedly sent back to drafts, but the author insists on publishing it. Fails

Comment This article was draftified four times, it should have been brought to AFD after the first draftification was reverted. Thank you, DoubleGrazing, for nominating it now. LizRead!Talk!16:56, 15 March 2023 (UTC)reply
Comment -- This appears to refer to an independent state existing 1300-1320. If so, having an article about it might be appropriate, even if the sources are scanty.

Delete - Not enough sourcing to meet
WP:GNG - draft is where it should have remained, but kept getting recreated without improvement, so no point sending it back.

Keep. The more common spelling is Khurman (and there are others). Try "Banu Khurman". Deletion would only reinforce our systemic bias in favour of stuff that generates lots of results when copy/pasted into GScholar. For example, there is no "o" in the romanization used by Brill for classical Arabic, so you cannot expect this spelling in any of their publications.

Weak Keep - I think the concerns are legitimate, however I think there is something there with the subject even if the current article is not the greatest. I don't know how much more information exists on it and I don't know who else here could really go pull it up, but the chances of getting more information improve if the article stays.

Strong keep I’ve added three refs which indicate that although relatively little is known about this ruling clan, they are discussed in multiple scholarly journals and books. I think the title should be changed to “Khurman” to reflect the standard Arabic transliteration that is used in the sources. The current spelling looks French to me, which may indicate even more sources in that language, but I haven’t looked.
