Mohamed Hassan El-Feky[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Non-notable person. No sources can be found to assert notability for this artist. Being the son of a notable artist is not relevant. The proposed deletion was removed (without edit summary comment) by an IP editor, so taking to AFD instead. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 13:37, 15 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - this requires sourcing. Those sources reasonably might be in Arabic and/or offline. Sources may focus primarily on other topics, yet cover this subject in adequate depth. So, for example, sources covering his relationship with his father would be both relevant and useful, even if they principally focused on the father. But in the absence of any sourcing, this is irrelevant cannot be kept. Le petit fromage (talk) 05:40, 26 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep it - the article was updated and offline references added. I suggest keeping it. Any further tips/advice are welcome. Karim M. Ayyad (talk) 10:37, 1 July 2015 (UTC) — K.ayyad (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]

Comment The "offline reference" (singular: one magazine article, cited twice) that was added is

El-Baz, Z (2001). "Surrealistic and creative: Mohamed Hassan, the Pharaoh of the mountain". Nisf Al Dunia. 587: 123.

Nisf al-dunya is an Egyptian women's magazine. A search of their website (here) for El-Feky's name (in Arabic) shows no results. I don't speak Arabic, so I may not be navigating the magazine's website correctly, and it is possible that the magazine does not have archives as far back as 2001, so assuming good faith that this article does exist, it is still only a single article, and in a popular magazine, not in an arts-centric publication, so it still does little to bolster El-Feky's notability as an artist.

Delete - web searches in Latin script turn up nothing, we can't speculate whether there might be something in Arabic script, either the creator of the article adds some sources in Arabic, or somebody else who can read it does it. So far there's nothing, one off-line source of unknown depth. Kraxler (talk) 19:25, 7 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
