Not sure how being a president of a squash club is notable. Does not seem to something that go under a political thing. Unless if there is more he has done, this should be either a merge or a delete. Wgolf (talk) 17:25, 27 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete He's president of a sporting club, but that doesn't give him automatic notability. He lacks the coverage needed to meet GNG.204.126.132.231 (talk) 16:08, 30 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, czar ♔ 02:33, 5 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: To be fair, Al Ahly is more than a squash club but a leading football club in its country. However its presidency is not automatically notable and in the absence of evidence of other achievements by the subject in his own right, and noting that the sole reference even describes him as "Little known", he fails WP:ANYBIO. (There also appears to have been an accumulation of articles around the officials of this club, noting President of El-Ahly and President of El-Ahly Sports Club, both I think of debatable notability.)
