Assalamu aleikum For be considered sunni you have to follow the Usool of a salaf, such as imam abu hanifah ra, imam malik ra, etc... Salafis/Ghair Muqallids/wahhabis/ahlul hadiiz do not follow the Usool of the salaf, they follow a particular Usool which is all based in Quran and hadiz, so in my view thay are not sunnis. salam aleikum
