A daunting task reviewing all the sources optimizing google translate but was worth it as they all appear to be unreliable. The subject doesn’t seem to have taken active roles in movies and TV series he featured in neither does he appear to have received an award. Put all together & they do not satisfy WP:NACTOR or WP:GNG. Celestina007 (talk) 17:46, 3 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - He may not have a significant presence in foreign works, but he is considered one of the famous actors in The cinema of Morocco. --البوعناني حاتم (talk) 18:15, 3 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: I'm not sure why the nominator thinks that the sources are unreliable, or the roles are insufficient. The Ahdath.info article talks about his starring role in a 30-episode Moroccan television series called The Legacy. The Byanealyaoume Press article, "Portrait: Ismail Abu Al-Qanater .. A special Moroccan actor", is a profile of his life and work. The Bladi.net article, "Ismaïl Abou El Kanater, le Marocain d’Hollywood", is a similar profile of his life and work. All three are medium-sized articles, directly about the subject. I see nothing to suggest that any of them are unreliable, and the nominator did not explain the rationale for their assessment. — Toughpigs (talk) 03:27, 4 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Toughpigs, all are mostly unreliable because they lack editorial oversight and reputation for fact checking. For example, The Bladi.net article this one; https://www.bladi.net/ismail-abou-el-kanater-hollywood.html is a blatant promotional write lacking editorial oversight & a reputation for fact checking & definitely not independent of the subject hence a WP:GNG fail. How then is that source reliable??? Featuring in movie series & not partaking in active/main character roles doesn’t do much to satisfy NACTOR either or does any source state he took active roles in movies he featured in?

Yes, as I said, the Ahdath.info article talks about his starring role in The Legacy (الإرث). — Toughpigs (talk) 04:45, 4 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
