Amr El-Samra[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Latest of many unreferenced vanity pages, created by several similarly named accounts. He fails WP:BIO and WP:GNG. It could have been speedy deleted as spam: it's been speedied and BLP prodded several times at Amr El Samra, Amr El-Samra, Amr I. El-Samra, User:Amr El-Samra, etc. But I thought I should take it to AFD, since removing the promotional parts with a shovel would leave ~~nothing~~ little of value.

delete and probably salt. It is possible that his various actions in international trade make him marginally notable, although I suspect not. But the present article is more of a family album and is definitely a puff piece, and it is clear that the creator of the page, who seems also to be the subject, will not settle for the brief stub which contains all the encyclopedic content that is verifiable about this person. Moreover, notability is at best marginal and is not established by any sources now in the article, in my view. DES ^(talk) 15:21, 4 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as unreferenced BLP and for comments above: this article is nowhere neutral and subject is not notable. PaintedCarpet (talk) 21:29, 4 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete for reasons stated above. It is very promotional and not particularly noteworthy from a google search of the name. XFEM Skier (talk) 20:12, 6 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

NOTICE: Is this discussion closed then? Is the matter settled? If so, state that clearly. Otherwise the entry gets recreated all over again (see page history) by zealous page patrollers like me.Super48paul (talk) 11:25, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No, but Mr. El-Samra has tried to blank this latest incarnation of his autobiography for the fifth time, apparently hoping to avoid an outcome of deletion on this AFD. That won't work, Amr, so give it a rest. Ruby Murray 12:17, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
