Film producers, writers or directors are not given an automatic free pass over WP:BIO just because they exist — their ability to qualify for Wikipedia articles is determined by criteria at WP:AUTHOR. the subject has produced only one notable film ( among a couple of non-notabe short films) which is not even released yet.

Search doesn't produce any substantial information about the person so Can't see any significance. Saqib (talk) 05:56, 20 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep It would help if the article was created under his correct name (I've moved it). There's a ton of coverage on this individual, such as [1], [2], [3], [4]. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 07:29, 20 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Wow! Look at that! I didn't knew his full name is "Abu Bakr Shawky". Thank you penning down his full name and for renaming the page. So as I said Google search doesn't produce any substantial information about the person under his abbreviated name "A.B. Shawky" but I can see some good coverage under this non-abbreviated name. However I'm still not convinced if he meets WP:AUTHOR. After-all he has directing only one non-notable film (which is not even released yet, as I said above). I would say say Wikipedia:NotJustYet because he has received the coverage due to Yomeddine so WP:BIO1E apply here (perhaps) and in light of the recently findings, my second choice would be make redirection to Yomeddine. --Saqib (talk) 08:12, 20 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This is more a matter of registration than a critical evaluation. --Saqib (talk) 11:08, 21 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
