Keep Meets WP:NPOL as the subject is an elected chairman/president of Kuwait Economic Association, which is a national office that is involved in politics/economy-related decision making. Added 4 additional independent sources to assure meeting WP:GNG. --Aaehasa (talk) 14:20, 29 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - fails [WP:PROF]]; head of a NN NGO. Those sources don't convince me. Bearian (talk) 13:51, 1 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Bearian. How do sources fail WP:PROOF? Sources #2 through #7 and #9 are mainstream newspapers, which are Al-Qabas, Al-Anba_(Kuwait), Al_Rai_(Kuwaiti_newspaper), Al-Jarida, Al-Seyassah and Annahar_(Kuwait). Sources #1 and #8, in the other hand, are linked to the official website of the association the subject is a head of. --Aaehasa (talk) 12:15, 2 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete if the board lacks an aritcle, being its chairman is not enough to make one notable. Sources do not establish notability, and being part of some board in and of itself does not make one notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 08:19, 4 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Johnpacklambert. You have a point, the association must have an article and it is on my to-do list as appears on my user page. However, do you really think lack of an article of a "notable" association should prevent its chairman from passing WP notability guidelines? Notability isn't time-sensitive to what comes first into WP, is it? --Aaehasa (talk) 09:01, 6 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
