After a declined speedy and prod, it would seem that this article still does not meet the minimum threshold of WP:GNG. The Saudi royal family has hundreds of members and membership in that family alone does not confer notability. EricSerge (talk) 12:52, 29 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Just to clarify, the Saudi family has thousands (not hundreds) of royals. Wikipedia estimates the number to be 15,000, but it could be higher (see House of Saud).Indigosails (talk) 17:43, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete IIRC this is an article requested by the gentleman about whom the article is written, putting his employee in a very difficult position. Notability, unlike royalty, is not inherited. This gentleman lacks notability in any encyclopaedic sense. If and when he gains genuine notability he may have an article here, but not until then.

Delete In Arab culture, paternal lines are very important. I lived in Saudi as a westerner for some time. But absent notability in his own right, this prince is stretching his ties to Abdulaziz Al-Saud a bit too far. If the article were rewritten to make relevant his notability, as opposed to his nobility, then i would encourage reconsideration. But the article just isn't written very well and should be deleted as is.Indigosails (talk) 20:31, 1 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
