This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because... (a quick Google search of Fahed Boodai reveals widespread appearances across English and Arabic mainstream media, from print to cable television. Fahed Boodai conforms to Wikipedia's notability criteria due to sufficient number secondary media coverage) --Saidkassem (talk) 07:45, 28 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I also contest this speedy deletion tag. Fahed Boodai being on the Arabian Business Rich List and presiding over $1.5 billion of real estate assets are two credible claims of importance - and they are not the only ones in the article. I can't see this fulfilling the definition of CSD A7 however far you stretch it. (Sorry Alan.) No comment on whether the subject satisfies the notability criteria for biographies though. — Mr. Stradivarius ^♫ 07:47, 28 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
