The result was delete. Entirely unsourced WP:BLP. Deletion is mandatory per that policy. There would otherwise not be consensus to delete, so this can be restored by anybody who has reliable sources and is willing to, y'know, actually cite them. Sandstein 18:04, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There is a claim of notability not supported by any sources. I've tried, but did not find any sources in English. Unless some sources provided on Arabic, looks not notable Arthistorian1977 (talk) 09:37, 20 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep for now - Keep in mind that new articles made by new editors might not have all the content they want to put on the page. Give the page a few more hours, and if the article has not been significantly expanded to show notability and has been sourced, we can delete it. It looks like the editor who made the article made it from a mobile phone and probably doesn't have any intention to expand it, but let's not assume immediately.

Keep - I found his Arabic profile and improved a bit. Searching his name brings up various videos. An Arabic expert needed here, but keep for now. —Мандичка^YO 😜 11:01, 20 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Those are two different people. The article claims Mahmoud El-Minshawi is brother of Mohamed Siddiq El-Minshawi.Arthistorian1977 (talk) 22:08, 20 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep only if better improved and, if not, merge. SwisterTwister talk 04:09, 31 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep - Being unsourced is not a reason for deletion. Sources only have to exist, not be present in the article. Per Wikimandia's research, keep and improve sourcing. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 13:57, 4 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
