- Delete per nominator, fails NPOL and GNG, the atricle suffers from some pretty useless Note bombing in an attempt to create notability, such as this in support of the claim "he was also National Vice President (North West)/ Kano State Chairman Youth Sports Federation of Nigeria and an investment manager at the Kano State Investment and Properties Limited" or this (that doesn't mention a PhD) supporting all of their acadmemic qualifications.

- Delete. This reads like; PR. -- Devokewater ( talk) 23:53, 5 July 2020 (UTC)
- Delete extraordinary sources require extraordinary sourcing. If we are going to claim that he really did change the nature of banking in northern Nigeria in the 1990s, we are talking about something that would probably effect 50 million people, we need good strong sources to show that this person was really having the impact claimed. They are lacking from the article. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 17:08, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

- Delete - WP:SOAP, and as an demonstrably false. Halal lending was introduced world-wide in the early 1990s by Rushdi Siddiqui. Bearian ( talk) 00:21, 10 July 2020 (UTC)
- Delete The article seems to be written from the point of view of a Fan or as a PR. Not according to Wikipedia policies Dtt1 Talk 13:03, 11 July 2020 (UTC)
- Delete. A deluge of sources that are not worth the bandwidth which they take up, as far as Wikipedia is concerned, and a text written in the best promotional prose do not a Wikipedia article make. In fact, they make an excellent candidate for deletion. - The Gnome ( talk) 16:14, 11 July 2020 (UTC)
