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

WP:BLP of a writer and public speaker, formatted like a résumé rather than an encyclopedia and referenced entirely to primary sources and YouTube videos and a user-generated "citizen journalism" site, with only one reference that's even maybe a reliable source. So there simply isn't enough valid sourcing here to clear WP:GNG, and nothing stated in the article body entitles him to a free presumption of notability in the absence of enough valid sourcing to clear GNG.

  • Speedy delete as unambiguous promotion. Has all appearance of being a fan page or an autobiography, with content such as:
  • "Popularity: Hundreds of Arabic and English videos by Fadel Soliman can be found on YouTube where there are excerpts from his appearances on TV channels, as well as speeches delivered in the Middle East and in the West.[14]" [link to youtube channel]
I've requested a speedy deletion under G11; let's see if it takes. K.e.coffman (talk) 01:34, 22 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
