WP:BLP of a writer and consultant, written much more like a résumé than a proper encyclopedia article. This is referenced to just one footnote, and while I don't completely trust Google Translate's translation from Arabic, that publication's "about us" page appears to describe itself as a user-generated open content platform where anybody can submit "news" about anything they want to create self-published sourcing for ("We are looking for important information and we will publish it and publish it. Open community dialogues on issues of the homeland. Open to all opinions to express the spectrum of society.") And even if we grant it the benefit of the doubt and accept it as a reliable source, it still takes more than just one acceptable reliable source to pass WP:GNG -- but other than that one footnote, all this does otherwise is linkfarm an WP:ELNO-violating collection of dead links and pieces of his own writing about other things, which are not notability-assisting sources either. He needs to be the subject of content written and published by other people, not the bylined author of content about other things, to be properly sourced as a notable writer.
