As per this reference, the subject is a Syrian economist based in New York but Google search doesn't produce any substantial information about the person so I Can't see any significance here.

Subject does not appear to meet GNG and lacks non-trivial coverage from independent reliable sources. Saqib (talk) 07:38, 19 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

~~Keep~~ The subject, who is senior in age, started advising the Syrian government one year before the Arab Spring, and is known for his pro-Syrian government position. Absolutely of significance WP:N to anyone observing Syria - including the governments of the US, Great Britain and France. Would recommend AfD removed immediately, and post of link in Arabic or Russian to his profile on Wikipedia if available. Simone2049 (talk) 05:14, 21 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You need to provide evidence that this person is adviser to the Syrian government. And by the way do we have entry on this person in Arabic or Russian WP's ? I can't locate it. --Saqib (talk) 07:14, 21 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You need to take a crash course in definite and indefinite articles in English. And also contact your network to search for the requested articles.Simone2049 (talk) 05:30, 22 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I fail to find any sources supporting the assertions made above, or anything that supports notability for this person. There isn't even a claim to notability in the article. --bonadea contributions talk 15:45, 21 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I googled him and found a quote from him in the Atlantic,[[1]] but nothing substantive enough to base an article on. Fails WP:GNG. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Timtempleton (talk • contribs)
