Non-notable marketing executive. I can't even find brief mentions of him. SmartSE (talk) 21:01, 19 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - the "Articles and interviews" section makes the case pretty strongly, in that it's a string of brief mentions or of using him as an example of a category, rather than as someone with a special place in his profession. --Nat Gertler (talk) 21:40, 19 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This Article should be kept in wikipedia. Nino Kader is a popular name in international media. SBShuvo (talk) 19:46, 23 April 2018 (UTC) Note: I moved this comment here; it had been placed on the article talk page, but was clearly intended to address the deletion request. --Nat Gertler (talk) 21:37, 23 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I created this entry for Nino Kader in 2013 after seeing him multiple times on Al Jazeera as a technology expert (https://www.aljazeera.com/Search/?q=nino%20kader) in addition he was featured on the front page of the Washington Post for his professional expertise (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/07/01/AR2007070101355.html?nav=E8) these should suffice for keeping this page in additon to the many other media mentions where he is quoted (Harvard Politics Magazine, Wired, Newsweek, Bloomberg).

Keep - To me, the guy is notable enough given the significant coverage he received and wide media mentions across publications. I'd argue the editors voting a delete to reconsider their attitude regarding his notability. AhmadRezq (talk) 16:24, 25 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Note that concerns were raised at Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest/Noticeboard#User:NYMediaGuy that this was created for pay. Sbshuvo looks suspicious to me e.g. Erwin Mahroug and Bboyworld (see also BBoy World) which are both also at AFD. AhmadRezq is a 'new' user who somehow found this AFD.... It would be good to relist this. SmartSE (talk) 16:52, 26 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete: Does not meet WP:ANYBIO or WP:AUTHOR. Coverage is in passing and / or WP:SPIP. Looks to be UPE, as alluded to at COIN. K.e.coffman (talk) 18:59, 28 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

~~*Keep~~: He is a regular fixture on TV and in the media. Here is a list of appearances on Al Jazeera (https://www.aljazeera.com/Search/?q=nino%20kader)NYMediaGuy

@NYMediaGuy: I have struck your "Keep" as you have already !voted above. SmartSE (talk) 11:56, 2 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@SmartSE: Why the sudden attacks on the entries for Nino Kader and Clayton Swisher? Is this political? Are you being paid to slander?

Keep - I remember my professor at the university showed us one of his interviews. I dont remember what was the point, but this is as oppose to many other so called marketing executives who never left a foot print anywhere. This gut published books and was interviewed on TV for me it is enough. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 185.244.8.233 (talk) 14:40, 3 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It is no sign of particular success or import to have self-published books, which appears to be what Kader has. Going by this Amazon UK listing and the links off of it, his books were published by "Vested Owl"... and doing a publisher search for Vested Owl finds zero non-Kader books listed. These books do not seem to have been significant; of the three, only one got any Amazon reviews, and that was three reviews within the year that the book was published and none in the dozen years since. --Nat Gertler (talk) 15:12, 3 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
