He appears to satisfy the central criterion of : "The person has been the primary subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the person.".  He has been the primary subject in features from well-established sources: (1)http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/iraq/2005-02-06-iraq-shiite_x.htm USA TODAY, and (2)http://www.slate.com/id/2132084/entry/2132192/ Slate magazine.  Thus, he qualifies under the primary criterion.  In addition to this, he has received numerous mentions elsewhere regarding major issues in Iraq, and apparently has http://www.worldpress.org/Mideast/1859.cfm outstanding scholarly credentials as a Grand Ayatollah.  This might be expected, considering that he managed to become a Grand Ayatollah, which is in itself a notable rank in Shia Islam.  This nomination has done much good in encouraging expansion of the article, and I think that it should continue to be expanded
