This bio reads like a weak and rather pointless fan page. The man's name does appear in a few reliable and neutral third-party sources, but none of them establish adequate personal notability for a Wikipedia biography page. The page should be deleted.

Note: There are several reliable sources as that significantly cover the subject and establish the notability. the subject has also received the title by the prince that is a state honour award, and his interview also support and endorse the notability. I hope you will reconsider your nomination for deletion. I hope this helps.Justice007 (talk) 14:43, 9 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Justice007, I hope you are fine. Naturally I looked through the sources, and he is named in them, but the sources are not primarily about him, but about wider UAE projects and initiatives. His inclusion in some articles is almost tangential. I won't delete my nomination, but I will of course abide by whatever decision is reached. Thanks and regards, George Custer's Sabre (talk) 04:54, 10 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: As above mentioned sources in the Note, the subject passes the GNG and notability.Justice007 (talk) 09:47, 10 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Interviews are not sufficient to support notability, and the remaining sources are scant at best. I don't see how the person passes even the WP:GNG to be honest; a handful of mentions in articles and an interview don't qualify as sustained, significant coverage.

MezzoMezzo, I do not think you even have read the sources thoroughly that I mentioned. What does mean significantly coverage? He is this; he is that and so on. I am surprised.Justice007 (talk) 04:29, 11 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If we don't search, we don't find, here are two more 1, 2 sources that establish the notability of the subject.Justice007 (talk) 04:56, 11 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I did read the sources, and your comments aren't helpful. No, significant coverage is not established by passing mentions per WP:SIGCOV. What you've shown us is an interview (invalid for notability), his personal pages at a university and the company where he works, passing mentions and one actual mention. Sorry, but that's not significant coverage by a longshot, especially for the head of a utility company in one of the United Arab Emirates - that place is full of businessmen and heads of companies. Please learn to engage in discussion without attacking other editors, by the way. MezzoMezzo (talk) 03:48, 12 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
