I can find a few casual mentions but nothing that seems to meet our notability criteria. Note that there is also a "Abdul Razaq, an Afghan police official in the Kabul area." I deleted a copyvio YouTube video which is supposedly him giving a short speech, but it can still be found via the history. Article is protected because of BLP vandalism.

Abdul Razzaq Tlas is an important commander in the opposition. The current wikipedia article does a poor job of showing this with its current limited sources. I think the best source on him is given in this research report [1] on page 19-20. The Arte reportage is also a very good source: "1 week with the "free syrian army" – Feb 2012 – Arte reportage 1 of 2". To see the reportage conveniently you might need to watch it on youtube were there's a nonofficial version [2], which doesn't mean the Arte documentary is a invalid source it just means the reader needs to contact or search Arte's archives to see the official version.

Delete as per the nomination.--Juristicweb (talk) 01:30, 26 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or Userfy. Perhaps it is too soon however I have not foudn significant coverage of the subject required by WP:GNG or WP:ANYBIO. There are brief mentions of the subject, but none that are specifically about the subject and are passing mentions. Fails WP:SOLDIER as well.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 05:42, 27 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep the article. It is a biographical stub. Wikipedia does have many such biographical stubs about politicians, soldiers, writers etc. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ahmer Jamil Khan (talk • contribs) 02:18, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Being a biographical stub is irrelevant to the question of notability. I don't believe that we have any policies or guidelines that suggest we should keep BLPs just because they are short. If that were the case, anyone could have a BLP article. Dougweller (talk) 07:14, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
