Honestly, I can't make heads or tails of this article, but there isn't anything that looks like a clear indication of why the subject of this article is notable. The entire article is a hodgepodge of peacock terms, subjective non-NPOV phrases, uncited synthesis of subject's works/presumed views/opinions, and possible copyright violations (due to inclusion of a significant amount of source material). Even if notability can be established, the actual article is so poor that this might need to be WP:TNTed. Contested PROD; tag removed by IP, presumed to be original editor, without explanation.

Delete. Notable or not (and I don't think I've done this more than once before), I'm invoking WP:TNT. There's no way to edit an article that's saturated with the likes of
If destiny selected for cross-cultural memes to witness the birth of the Dadaist movement in the west at that time – and this was the womb which later gave birth to the Surrealist movement- then it is no surprise that the east should witness the birth of such a genius. There is no doubt that he was sent to us from the valley of Abqar to become one of the pillars of the literary, linguistic, philosophical, social, and judicial renaissance. A man who became one of the singular geniuses of his age, referred to as the luminary of the Arabic language, and as the high priest of linguistics!!
into a suitable piece, and we can't leave it in its current state. If someone else wants to write one in the future, so be it. —Largo Plazo (talk) 14:59, 18 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

delete. I edited the first paragraph to some sort of standard, then tried to find anything in the second section that was encyclopedic, and simply could not see anything but fluff. IdreamofJeanie (talk) 16:38, 18 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Article relies too much on quoting subjects own works. Seems to largely be a primary source attempt to glean his life from his writtings, with no indication that the person who did so has the scholarly and cultural background to carry it out.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:38, 22 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
