Delete - while he might have been a good man, there is neither allegation nor proof that he was notable. We are not a website of good men. Bearian (talk) 21:36, 10 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Assuming (fairly safely) that the "President Abood" mentioned in the article was in fact Ibrahim Abboud, the first military ruler in Sudan after its independence, there is a plausible though weak claim for notability in the article (it would still depend on a clearer description of the subject's role). However, I can't even find any verification (excluding Wikipedia mirrors). Having said that, the period under discussion is fifty years or so ago, and Sudanese matters have rarely been discussed in any detail in American or British media - so there is a definite possibility of systemic bias, with relevant sources never having got online. But to keep this, we do need sources. PWilkinson (talk) 07:59, 13 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete unless sources turn up allowing us to verify the information here. There's a possible claim of notability, but no means of checking it. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:46, 19 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
