no citations I have searched and I can find no mention of this guy except on wikipedia and clone sites J8079s (talk) 02:36, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment – It clearly didn't help that the subject's name is misspelled. I found some sources, oddly enough, by searching in Arabic. Good ol' GooBooks led to a more regularized name spelling. I've updated the contents, but if this article lives past AfD, it should be moved to Abu Hafsa Yazid. JFHJr (㊟) 06:09, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Reviewers should be aware that the article has changed substantially since Nom for AfD.

Keep - a notable character in the early history of Islam, with five rock-solid citations. Article should be moved to "Abu Hafsa Yazid" immediately after AfD is closed. Well done JFHJr for fine work - maybe you should cast your !vote though! Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:46, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Keep and rename per foregoing. --Legis (talk - contribs) 09:42, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – I was hoping the nominator would notice and withdraw the nomination. I guess I still hope so. If the nominator wants, I can assist in non-admin closure. JFHJr (㊟) 16:44, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I gladly withdraw the nomination. Thanks for the help J8079s (talk) 04:44, 13 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
