Keep Subject was an Ummayyad caliph. GBooks shows that sources are available. Edward321 (talk) 23:52, 23 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

GBooks does not contain any source about Muawiya II. SpyButeo (talk) 04:17, 24 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If you mean GBooks does not contain a biography of Muawiya II, you appear to be correct. If you mean GBooks contains no sources that mention Muawiya II, then following the link at the top of the AfD discussion will show you are incorrect. Edward321 (talk) 05:39, 24 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Put in some more effort next time when searching for an Arabic name, especially since we're dealing with a head of state here. There are different renderings possible, such as "Mu'awiyah ibn Yazid" or "Muʿāwiya II". The latter has its own entry in the Encyclopedia of Islam. I've added the source to the article, so now it's at least not totally unreferenced. - HyperGaruda (talk) 06:48, 24 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
