Comment - WP:ORG does not apply to this as it appears to be a "non-profit educational institution" (or alternatively as it is related to a religion or sect). Therefore the only question to be answered is whether it qualifies for WP:GNG. The only reference I could find in Gbooks to it was here, where the snippet reads: ""This is why we did not witness any major retaliatory act of violence in Skardu and Ismaili majority areas," Hussain says. In Skardu, some disgruntled protesters did try to attack al-Markaz al-Islami —the main Ahle Hadees madrassah in Baltistan...". Therefore, at least one reliable source (The Herald of Pakistan) refers to it as an institution of at least some level of notability (an important institution for a notable Islamic sect). However I don't think this snippet by itself is enough to keep the article. At the same time I am hesitant to vote delete unless the non-English-language sources have been reviewed by someone who speaks the language. This is especially because of the difficulty in trying to assess the notability of this article given the wide range of different romanisations of the various parts of the name of the place.

PS - the article references "Jon Krakauer (2011-07-01). Three Cups of Deceit: How Greg Mortenson, Humanitarian Hero, Lost His Way. Anchor Books. p. ?. ISBN 978-0307948762." - has anyone had a chance to review this? FOARP (talk) 08:51, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - unless somebody can find non-English articles to support notability. There don't appear to be any in English. Ira Leviton (talk)
