- Weak** He only has few reference which are independent reliable sourceZafas1653 (talk) 1:52, 30 November 2021 (UTC)

I do appreciate the effort User:Zafas1653 put into this AFD; An account created a few hours ago. Within minuets of its creation the account manages to find this specific AFD, reads the article, evaluates all 45 references in the article, votes. Once done, jumps to the next AFD and do the same. --Tarawneh (talk) 16:49, 30 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Question: Tarawneh, what is your connection to this person? I notice that you uploaded this image after receiving a personal email from him. I'm also mildly curious as to why VRT ticket 2021042210007271, which relates to that file, is not visible to ordinary VRT agents. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 19:40, 30 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

after receiving a personal email from him! Can you please elaborate Justlettersandnumbers...

Although this has nothing to do with this AFD, the Answer is: an OTRS agent needs to have permission to gain access to the group where the ticket is located. If you don't have the required permission you will not see it. That is how the system works. It is moved to the main permission group, so if you have access there, you will be able to read it. The students could not find a free image. I adviced them to contact him and request one. He sent an email releasing his photo to CC-BY-SA. Tarawneh (talk) 20:25, 30 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Well, thank you, Tarawneh! My reason for asking about personal email from him is that you give your source for that image as "Personal email from Dr Demetrios Zamboglou". As you say, it has nothing directly to do with this AfD, but where is the permission from the photographer in that ticket? Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 21:00, 30 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The owner personally (him self) emailed his photo with the required release. --Tarawneh (talk) 21:08, 30 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If you have access to the ticket, you will see that he affirmed sole ownership and exclusive copyright to the photo. Clearly stating legal authority to release the copyright. --Tarawneh (talk) 21:16, 30 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, and we have a standard response for that: "en-Permission from photographer not subject". Everybody and his wife claims to own photographs taken of them; that's why we routinely ask them if they actually own the copyright, and if so, how it was acquired from the photographer. However, this is off-topic in this discussion, let's leave it. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 22:13, 30 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Wikipedia is not LinkedIn. Sources are a mishmash of unreliable, superficial, and non-independent. Professors running a student project don't decide who is notable; the Wikipedia editing community does. XOR'easter (talk) 18:18, 30 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - a WP:REFBOMB of questionable sourcing. Tarawneh has been asked already to clarify his relationship to the subject, and not done so; I have asked again at his talk page. This isn't one you can just keep editing through - David Gerard (talk) 20:21, 30 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Dear David. Who must disclose : Users who are compensated for any publicity efforts related to the subject of their Wikipedia contributions are deemed to be paid editors, regardless of whether they were compensated specifically to edit Wikipedia. Why would you assume that I am one? I rank 100 on ar.wiki editcount. I wrote hundreds of articles presenting living people. I have to say that I admire the technique being used here; Moving this AFD into this direction. In my 20 years of actively contributing and defending the project even from Authorities in foreign countries, I never even imagined that I will ever see this, especially from a guy who's been around for years. Still, I do understand that are protecting the project, and I respect that. --Tarawneh (talk) 21:03, 30 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I've removed six references from the article because they contained no mention of the person in question; that suggests that all other refs should be checked with some care. Deferring comment on notability until that's been done. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 12:21, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, totally agree. We should campaign removing all references failing to mention the subject of the articles. I can see now that references mentioning fuel behavior should not be found in articles talking about specific type of cars, references suggesting a well documented failure in a certain airplane should never be found in the Bermuda triangle article. Even references talking about bombs and weapons should never be in WWII article. I almost forgot to mention the Virus DNA behavior references, these are tricky, and must be removed from all articles addressing different kinds of illnesses and treatment technologies. Generally speaking, I seem to recall a feature in mediawiki called talkpage; Usually that feature is used to discuss and exchange notes about all type of concerns regarding certain reference within the article.

Your article reads like spammy nonsense, and this sort of argument that shows a lack of understanding of Wikipedia sourcing doesn't help your case in the slightest - David Gerard (talk) 08:31, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
