Can't see the person's notability per WP:BIO. Authoring a few little-known books? Having translated Quran? Having students who published books? kashmiri TALK 21:17, 31 October 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Weak keep. Googled for "abdul qadeer siddiqui" -wikipedia; 0 news hits and found only 1 short mention in a book (... Abdul Qadeer Siddiqui, the head of the Islamic Studies Department at the Osmania University, ...) Trying "abdul qadir siddiqui" got me more hits, including more junk hits but also this this (Maulana Abdul Qadir Siddiqui, formerly Professor of Theology in the Osmania University, is not only a practical Sufi, but also a noted thinker. Meyar-al-Kalam (The Standard of Kalam) and the Hikamte-a-Islamia (The Philosophy of Islam) are his original contributions to Islamic thought (...?)) and this snippet view (... Moulvi Abdul Qadir Siddiqui, Professor of Islamic Theology and Religion in the Osmania University, ...). Really pushing the "significant coverage" criterium here, but who knows what that second source has to tell beyond the snippet view. - HyperGaruda ( talk) 07:36, 13 November 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Keep per the second source found by HaperGaruda. That alone does not establish notability, but calling him a "noted thinker" in an English-language publication suggests to me that there are probably other (undigitized, Urdu-language) sources covering him. -- Cerebellum ( talk) 00:50, 14 November 2015 (UTC) reply
 Comment: I believe two cursory mentions in two 1940s books, with no single mention afterwards, are rather a strong indication of lack of notability. If that person was indeed a notable scholar, he would have been the subject of many publications, in India and abroad, in the half a century passed since his death. Note that WP:NPERSON explicitely requires significant coverage. kashmiri TALK 21:46, 14 November 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Strong Keep per Source [1]

  • Delete for now perhaps as I would've also said reluctant keep at this time but there's simply nothing to suggest better improvement which the article seriously needs. SwisterTwister talk 07:33, 15 November 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Delete dues to lack of coverage in reliable sources. The article links to a few websites, but the ones that aren't dead links are not reliable sources. The only GBooks hits seem to be Wikipedia mirrors. Edward321 ( talk) 05:01, 17 November 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Delete - simply not enough in-depth coverage from reliable sources to show notability. For someone who other sources quote as being a "noted thinker" - a few hits on Scholar (if it is the same person), with Zero citations. Onel5969 TT me 13:55, 23 November 2015 (UTC) reply
