Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Fouzi Ayoub Sabri

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was keep. The keep arguments are much stronger than delete ones to keep at this time. Consensus was that the subject meets WP:GNG based on foreign sources.

However, improvements to the article are certainly needed. The article will be tagged as needing translation to facilitate that. (non-admin closure) ~ Aseleste (t, e | c, l) 04:36, 11 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I can tell, there is no substantive RS coverage of the subject in English-language sources. The company that he leads doesn't even have a Wikipedia page. The page describes him as the first Saudi creator of a car, but I find nothing on that in a Google search. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 17:45, 3 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Automated comment: This AfD was not correctly transcluded to the log (step 3). I have transcluded it to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2021 April 3. —^{cyberbot I}_{Talk to my owner:Online} 18:10, 3 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep. The ar.wiki article has eight sources, some of which look ok. I also found three articles about his work and projects he’s involved in from RIS, 1, 2 and 3, as well as other less substantial refs, so I think he’s probably a GNG pass. Mccapra (talk) 18:24, 3 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: As mentioned in another AfD, no substantive RS coverage of the subject in English-language sources is completely irrelevant -- notability doesn't care about the language (on the meta-level, someone covered only in Icelandic or Sindhi is unlikely to get an enwiki article simply because enwiki has fewer people interested in such figures, but if they do such an article is unimpeachably notable). Unlike the other AfD, where evidence doesn't yet exist to suggest the non-English coverage is meaningful, this one appears to pass. Vaticidalprophet 21:52, 3 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete this article is only sourced to coverage on the subject on his own website. We cannot keep articles with such inadequate coverage.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:37, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- @ Johnpacklambert per WP:BEFORE C.1. "If the article can be fixed through normal editing, then it is not a candidate for AfD." the current state of the sources on the article is not a criteria for deletion Jeepday (talk) 17:11, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The other language article has good sources which appear to meet WP:GNG. Jeepday (talk) 17:11, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
