Biography of journalist which doesn't assert notability according to WP:GNG. I have only been able to locate this reference which mentions him in passing, but admittedly I'm not able to search Arabic sources. Favonian (talk) 17:29, 12 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. It may be possible to beef this article up with worthy references to assert notability but as it stands there is nothing that indicates notability (and there are no references). The article itself is comparable to an aural biography from a fan. Nipsonanomhmata ^(Talk) 23:15, 12 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I could find nothing about him at Google News searching under various spellings and variations on his name. Probably the only way to save this article would be if someone can find and read sources in Arabic. --MelanieN (talk) 15:16, 18 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
