I cannot find any information or even slight mention of this organization outside of websites directly tied to it. This article fails WP:ORG and even WP:GNG and merely seems like an attempt by someone tied to it to exploit Wikipedia to generate publicity.

• Comment to closing admin: Please note that this one and several other AFDs on related subjects have been the target of sockpuppetry and several SPAs. See Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Mrashid364 for more information. Bjelleklang - talk 18:30, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The metioned 90% copy material is fundamental which is unchangeable and basic and are the terms which cannot be changed, so I think this deletion tag is baseless.FrancoSQ (talk) 06:21, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Tehreek Dawat-e-Faqr is a popular Sufi Non profit organization registered under THE SOCIETIES REGISTRATION ACT, 1860(http://punjablaws.gov.pk/laws/1.html , this Orghanization work to spread literary work don by different Sufi saints,this organization pass 100% WP:ORGand WP:GNG, The language of this Article is Informational not promotional 202.166.163.146 (talk) 09:01, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Should Not Delete In a country like Pakistan which is targeted for terrorism, I see this organization as spreading Sufism via books and websites which is very crucial and important for the country. its worth something considering the chaos in the country at least its a way of spreading peace. even their books are online for downloading. i dnt think their aim is commercial. Seems informational to me. Only WP:NOTESAL applies. Iilluminate (talk) 19:25, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

DELETE NOT REQUIRED

Couldn't agree more. The article doesn't require a delete...as it is a stand alone article. it is only informational. and Yes Pakistan does require such organizations to promote peace plus im relieved to find out such non-profit organizations exist who aim to spread Sufism. surely appreciated! remove AfD JugniSQ (talk) 09:53, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment Following what was said above, it's quite convenient that after three consecutive SPIs, we again have some brand new accountsd with the same level of English as a second language and the same tendency to ignore all common formatting conventions for AfD comments. They're also all making the same weak, irrelevant arguments bent on defending this and the related articles on non-notable subjects tied to this organization. MezzoMezzo (talk) 03:36, 11 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment Then all articles of relating to any Tehreek must be deleted not just one specific such as Sunni Tehreek, Tehrik-e-Jafaria, Tehreek Nizam-e-Mustafa, Awami Tehreek, Tehreek-e-Tahaffuz-e-Pakistan and many other articles. Any article that doesnt promote and is non profit can exist n should be kept. So, this page should be kept Iilluminate (talk) 19:26, 12 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• KEEP Pakistan related articles and specifically articles based on Sufism are subject to deletion because they are of least interest to foreigners because of thier lack of interest and understanding. but this is very important to promote peace and guide people spirtually.What fame will this organisation get by explaining the true meaning of Islam.It is a non-profitable organisation.the content of this article is not to promote but just to refer the people to their true self.DAVIDmosla (talk) 13:38, 14 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• " It should not be deleted " because

-Any organization cannot be categorized as Non-notable only on Wikipedia or internet basis, Wikipedia Policy also says that the notability -should not only be on internet or in English, the ground realities are also acceptable. -It is very notable on real grounds in Pakistan. It hosts and organizes different religious events in multiple parts of the country. -It has followers not only from Pakistan but International as well. -It is circulating published materials in country, therefore it is notable not only in common people but in Book Shops and Publications Houses as well.
