The subject of this article is an Islamic scholar from a notable family of scholars and leaders, but notability is not inherited. At the age of 35 he is certainly not a notable Shia cleric, and he has only been running his own seminary for a couple of years. None of the sources look reliable and sourcing a bio to a letter in the Guardian really is a sign of desperation. There is nothing here to suggest notability so WP:TOOSOON applies.

- Delete - As per nom. Notability not stablished. wikipedia is not a social network site! Spada II ♪♫ ( talk) 06:50, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
- Delete - Even though I created this page, I now agree. At this point in his life, he probably isn't notable enough for wikipedia. Ibn Daud ( talk) 17:49, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
- Keep - Him being young has nothing to do with his notability. He is the most known Shia speaker in the United States and has established his own seminary. All English-speaking Shia know him! Hadiarchami 04:56, 1 May 2020 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Haidarchami ( talk • contribs)
- Comment whether he is known or not does not help, and starting his own seminary does not make him notable either. If you can find reliable independent sources about him, that’s what we need. Mccapra ( talk) 09:15, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
- Delete per nom, too soon. We have almost always deleted articles about younger academics. This is nothing new, and a change in consensus is highly unlikely. Bearian ( talk) 17:33, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
- Delete hujjahseminary is not a reliable source.-- Vitalpantaryan ( talk) 16:42, 6 May 2020 (UTC)
