Keep. Sources are easily found for this historical ruler, using search strings such as <"Bashir III" Shihab>, <"Bashir III" Chehab>, and <"Bashir Qasim">. For example: [1] [2] [3] --Arxiloxos (talk) 18:34, 7 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Arxiloxos. The nominator needs to read WP:BEFORE. James500 (talk) 16:25, 14 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep -- A historical article on a ruler (even a bad one) should be kept. We have a source, so it is not WP:OR. Peterkingiron (talk) 19:31, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Peterkingiron, you should better check the article history before pronouncing what you said about sources. When I nominated this page it did not even have a "references" section. I reply you because you accuse me. Regards. --Why should I have a User Name? (talk) 20:34, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - I was commenting on what we have now. Nevertheless, the ban on OR is about what is not verifiable, rather than what is not verified. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:45, 19 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per sources cited by Arxiloxos.--4scoreN7 (talk) 20:40, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
