Fails WP:NACTOR. Some sources are unreliable while some failed verifications. KartikeyaS (talk) 19:56, 12 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: I'm the original author here. I'd like to know which sources fail the verification here? The subject has working role in Ministry of Media and is sourced by Saudi Press Agency. Source from Khelejia TV also exist which might be confusing because it's subsidiary of Rotana Group. I believe there's language barrier and people may have been little confused.

Thank you for asking.

[1] - this has only a passing mention in one sentence. The news is not even about this person.
[2] - a youtube link of a programme where this person was invited as a guest.
[3] - unreliable source which accepts user-generated contents[4] like medium.com.
[5] is aggregated from this[6], a self-published press release by PRUnderground. Not to mention that this source is about the launch of a show.
[7] - this one is same as the ref #1 which is about a launch at Riyadh Literary Club.

I agree. Just few points to add:

Ref#2 is from YouTube for sure but it was interview from Khalejia TV which as I mentioned is a subsidiary of Rotana Group.
Ref#5: You mentioned its about the launch of the show. The show is basically the creation of subject himself so I guess associating reference isn't a ::bad thing to add.

Weak Delete: It seems a bit WP:TOOSOON for an article on this subject. However, since I'm not in a position to evaluate the non-English sources, I can't give a completely informed opinion vis-à-vis WP:GNG. I'll happily consider the opinions of others in that regard.

Comment:: I've removed and replaced a unreliable source. Added one from Riyadh Season and added two shows and their IMDb links. I'm currently following pattern on Bader Saleh's page. If this discussion leads to deletion of page, I request to draftify it for further working. Lunar Clock (talk) 21:54, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

IMDb is not a reliable source. KartikeyaS (talk) 07:12, 17 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I know. That's why I've placed them at external links section. That's not what my point is. Lunar Clock (talk) 20:56, 17 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Most importantly, the subject surely doesn't pass WP:NACTOR and I guess its mistake on my part to write that way. I've fixed that and working on it to converting something close to Bader Saleh. Lunar Clock (talk) 20:45, 18 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I still haven't found anything that would make him a notable comedian! KartikeyaS (talk) 16:22, 20 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I've added notability maintenance tag. I believe this discussion is no more about the WP:NACTOR. Lunar Clock (talk) 00:50, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You added this tag[8] yourself and still you think the article should be kept? KartikeyaS (talk) 06:47, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Well yes, maintenance tags exist for a reason and that's maintenance. Otherwise we would've deleted the pages in first place. And honestly speaking, I'm learning quite well with this discussion with you. Thank you. Lunar Clock (talk) 10:59, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: One more relist as this is a BLP
