The Arabic article needs to be deleted too, Also there is a COI, He wrote a message on my talk page using two accounts (Adham Hamam) and (Ahmed Ghanam), It's not a good idea to create a Wikipedia account to write an article about yourself. Charmk (talk) 19:20, 6 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The article may exist on the Egyptian Arabic wiki but I'll note that (based on machine translation) a similar article appears to have been salted on the Arabic wiki for repeated recreation of non-notable content. --Finngall ^talk 15:37, 7 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Please note that the standards for verification on social media are generally much lower than Wikipedia's notability standards. Best, GPL93 (talk) 13:08, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I cannot source him in the Latin alphabet nor do I see any claims in article that would carry him past WP:JOURNALIST.E.M.Gregory (talk) 14:01, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Note that people are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they have Facebook and Twitter accounts, so the social media profiles listed above by Adham Hamam aren't relevant to whether this is keepable or not. A very large proportion of everybody who exists on the entire planet has one or both of those things now, so they aren't instant free passes to encyclopedic notability in the absence of reliable source coverage about the person's work. And no, the fact that an article exists on another language's Wikipedia is not an instant notability freebie either, per WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS and WP:WAX. But when it comes to the sources present in the article, what I'm getting is not notability-supporting reliable source coverage about Ahmed Ghanam, but a mix of primary sources and glancing namechecks of his existence in coverage of other things — which is not the kind of sourcing it takes to make a person notable enough for a Wikipedia article.
