Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Abdul Salam (Taliban leader, Karabak front, 2001)
It seems to me that this nomination is based on a misunderstanding of |the wikipedia's policy on verifiability.  The nomination asserts that we don't even know whether Abdul Salam ''exists''.  Well, the very first sentence of  says we should aim for '''"verifiability, not truth"'''.  Basing a nomination for deletion on the question whether we know whether Abdul Salam ''really'' exists lapses from , because, without regard to whether we know he ''really'' exists, the American intelligence asserts he exists.  It is verifiable.  I suggest there is nothing exceptional about having articles on topics that may not exist.  We cover theoretical sub-atomic particles, which may or may not exist.  We cover the gods and supernatural beings from across the religious spectrum. We cover the 20th hijacker -- an individual who may not have existed
