No credible claim of notability. Only 3 sources. First reference does not mention Hakawi News, 2 and 3 are Wordpress pages on the official website. WP:Before shows zero independent coverage, although both Commons and Wikiquote are also being targeted with articles promoting Hakawi News and its editor, who has "apparently" won not only the French Legion of Honor but also a 2023 Academy Award.

Delete as part of a fairly large cross-projects hoax. Blocks and salting to taste. Andy Dingley (talk) 11:48, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. This is clearly not a notable entity. Cross-wiki spam, hoax, and/or exaggeration. Marbletan (talk) 19:51, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sources have been added and are being supplemented Follow the page،Hakawi News. (Ahmed brens (talk) 19:06, 1 March 2024 (UTC))[reply]

Most sources being added are about the Hakawi International Festival for Children’s Arts, run by Cairo's AFCA Arts Center. It has zero connection aside from its name with the Wordpress website Hakawi News. The Hakawi Jazz Festival, organized by the Library of Alexandria, also has no connection to Hakawi News.

Delete and maybe salt given the multiple users involved in this spam operation. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 07:16, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: As it is apparent this is a cross-wiki abuse, Hakawi News doesn't appear to pass any notability guidelines. Neither general nor subjective. ─ Aafī (talk) 13:47, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
