Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi
What we have here is a subject who would clearly meet  if Somaliland were an internationally recognized country. Instead, Somaliland's status as regards international recognition seems to be much the same as that of the Confederate States of America between 1861 and 1865 - diplomatically unrecognised but widely accepted internationally as the de facto government of most of the territory it claims. However, I can't ever remember seeing a claim that Confederate congressmen fail , and wouldn't expect it to succeed if made - this case should be analogous. I would also make one other point more related to  - we often have transcription problems with Somali names, and this seems to be one of those cases. 'Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi' seems to be a relatively uncommon transcription of the subject's name - {{Find sources|Abdirahman Muhammad Abdullahi}} and {{Find sources|Abdirahman Mohamed Abdillahi}} both seem to work better (as do some missing out one of the subject's last two names and/or including his nickname (or title?) Irro, though these also seem to pick up references to other individuals). Putting these all together pick up quite a few apparently reliable references from the past six or eight years
