Non-notable person from Islamic history. Did little to be notable, and the fact that he had notable relations doesn't make him notable Raziman T V's Alternate account (Talk - Contribs) 13:22, 16 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Genealogy is significant information ~~but a merge is probably more appropriate than keeping an independent article.~~ --Sainge.spin (talk) 06:03, 17 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep this is ,more than just genealogy--these articles being nominated are on some of the key figures in the origin of a great religion, & what they need is expansion. The proposals are sort of like keeping the article on Washington but removing the ones of the other generals. DGG ( talk ) 03:28, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- There are a few more sources on Google books [1]. I'm not yet convinced Harith ibn Harb merits an independent article in the same way some of the other figures at issue here do, but I am voting a strong keep to allow further work to be done. The readiness to simply delete this set of articles without better research disturbs me. --Sainge.spin (talk) 05:32, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Sandstein 06:35, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Per DGG, add context so the notability is more evident to all - that is regular editing thus deletion is not needed here. -- Banjeboi 07:04, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
