Wadih Saadeh[edit]

The article appears more or less with the same content in several wikis - it has no sources and all (but the en/simple articles) have been created by the same IP-user. In sv-wiki a user of the same name as this article is registered and this user and the IP-user have not been editing any articles but the Wadih Saadeh-article. It is probably an autobiography.

Keep Granted the immediate sources are on the authors website but they are reprints of 3rd party RS. The endorsement from Mahmood Darwish is also of some importance. Note also cross-wiki articles are not relevant to this discussion.--Misarxist (talk) 11:59, 15 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Strongly Keep, the article is about an important historical figure, that was the founder of modern Pan-Arabism, the article needs to be improved, but not deleted, deleting it is like deleting the article about Karl Marx, or Mao, or Bolivar.

- if he is that important, why has no one written a book about him? or any academic papers? --UltraMagnus^speak 10:26, 16 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
