I can't see why a residence permit is notable enough for an encyclopaedia article, even if it had sources Jimfbleak - talk to me? 16:42, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete every town, county/state, country has ~~parking~~ permits, there's nothing at all notable enough for this article. Joseph2302 (talk) 16:52, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It's not a parking permit, it's the Saudi Arabian residence permit for foreign citizens. It's basically a Green Card but for Saudi Arabia rather than the USA. Prince of Thieves (talk) 16:55, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per all the reasons given above. Also, this article has no references. Vorbee (talk) 18:47, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral it's possible there are Arabic references with more detail. English refs such as [1] and [2] show existence but nothing significant apart from that. As this appears to be equivalent to a US Green card, I assume it will be a notable topic if refs are found. power~enwiki (π, ν) 19:49, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
There is an Arabic name in the article, which if googled gives lots of things I can't read. But using google translate reveals various bits of immigration advice. I can't tell. Prince of Thieves (talk) 20:06, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
