This is the recreation of an earlier deleted article (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sam Mounier. I'm not convinced that the problems with the first article have been solved, and I'm still struggling to find sources that show notability for the actor rather than the films.

Delete - regardless of how you spell him, he's not notable. --Orange Mike | Talk 20:45, 27 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Don't Delete - The article should be kept because the actor is notable in Egypt and Europe. He was a part of Labaki's Where Do We Go Now? which has won many awards, many of which are shared by Mounier (Ex: Audience Award at the Toronto Film Festival). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 160.36.193.169 (talk) 18:55, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- reply - read Notability is not inherited: a performer does not become notable by appearing in a notable film. --Orange Mike | Talk 18:58, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- reply - He is not notable because he appeared in a notable film, he appeared in a notable film because he is notable. The are many articles written about Mounier in Egyptian, Italian, and Lebanese newspapers. He has also been on several talk shows and is involved in the industry! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 160.36.195.61 (talk) 20:29, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I looked at the sources in the article and they're all broken. I did a search in the respective websites of these sources and also couldn't find anything. I searched in various Arabic sources, since the IP above mentions there is Egyptian and Lebanese newspaper coverage...but also didn't find anything. ~dee^(talk?) 08:44, 2 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Actually, I just found this from the British Video Association that lists Sam as one of the five writers. I still don't know if this is enough to prove notability, because I can't find anything else he's done. Here's another article in Al-Ahram (about the actual film) that does nothing but list him once as one of the writers, again. There isn't really any "content" about him. ~dee^(talk?) 08:50, 2 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Here's another link to the Dallas International Film Festival that lists Sam as the writer. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.22.227.38 (talk) 22:11, 7 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. And here's another. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.22.227.38 (talk) 22:14, 7 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete—Notability not shown by any references in article or offered here. Claims of coverage in foreign sources are useless unless foreign sources are actually produced. Livit⇑^Eh?/_What? 21:35, 10 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
