Can't verify his existence, either under this name, the pen name cited or Ibrahim Mohammed. Tuf-Kat 01:20, Jan 11, 2005 (UTC)

- Delete unless verification turns up (unfortunately this is about as common an Islamic name as can be). Wyss 04:28, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)

- Comment. Here several issues. 1) Spellings could be quite different. Do a search on "Ibrahim Mohammed" +poet -> 60 hits 2) Apparently the arabic names can be quite composed, so, "Ibrahim Mohammed" is found found in longer names. 3) I am not sure we can relly on a Google test for notability. So my local conclusion: It would be nice to have more references, more anything to make the article interesting and establish notability. If not done in two weeks: delete.

- "Ibrahim Mohammed" +poet does get 60 hits, but none of them appear to be about this person (they are all about modern individuals, AFAICT). Tuf-Kat 22:38, Jan 11, 2005 (UTC)
- Keep, change the spelling to that most used in English, and add some content. Very notable --Is Mise le Méas, Irishpunktom 16:30, Jan 11, 2005 (UTC)
- Can you verify notability? This is a serious question, as if he is notable, I will change my vote. Tuf-Kat 22:38, Jan 11, 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Unverifiable, no indication of notability. Jayjg | (Talk) 21:15, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. He is not as famous in English like those overcommercialized poets like Kahlil Gibran. But in comprehensive Arabic language resources he is there. huo | (Talk) 22:27, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Can you give a specific citation, in Arabic or English? Like Tuf-Kat, I don't want to delete this if he's truly notable. Can you suggest an alternate transliteration/spelling of the name that might appear in English-language sources? He doesn't have to be particularly famous to appear just once in the academic literature, but I didn't find anything in my search, as I noted above. However, I don't read Arabic.

- He is in a resource in Arabic, so you should ask one of your friends or lovers. The name of the resource is Kitab al Sher and although it sounds definitive enough to be translated to English or German it has not yet been for some reason. Hope this clarifies things. huo 18:24, 13 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Kitab al Sher also gets no google hits, at least in English. Can you supply the Arabic title so that can be googled? What sort of resource is it? (e.g. an encyclopedia of Arabic poetry, a textbook of Middle Eastern history, etc) What does it say about him? Does it explain why he is remembered today? Tuf-Kat 00:34, Jan 14, 2005 (UTC)

- Comment: if he's so notable, why not write something verifiable about him? Alphax (t) (c) (e) 06:37, Jan 15, 2005 (UTC)
