This article is just an absurd overlinked WP:COI, WP:Advert with no clear indication of WP:Notability. Plot Spoiler (talk) 00:10, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

Withdrawn by nominator Now that the article has been completely revamped and cleaned up, I now see that there are sufficient reliable sources on the subject to fulfill notability. This article must still be watched though for WP:Advert, WP:NPOV, and WP:COI concerns. Especially COI - far too many sock puppets flying around this page.

:Thanks Plot Spoiler agree with all your points and note the sock-puppet issue too. Seeing as I spent a lot of time resolving the many issues with the article I will be keeping a close eye on it. Best wishes Flat Out let's discuss it 01:48, 20 June 2013 (UTC)

Keep - [http://www.france24.com/en/20120831-syria-majid-rafizadeh-kidnap-family-targetted-civil-war-shabiha-opposition-bashar-assad suggest this] and [http://www.cnn.com/2013/05/08/world/meast/syria-shiites this] suggests the subject is notable. Definitely overlinked and there has been an issue with COI but can be saved and a number of editors are assisting. Flat Out let's discuss it 00:17, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

Keep - [http://www.cnn.com/2013/05/08/world/meast/syria-shiites suggest notability]. The page has been up for a while. Sandrkam (talk) 00:44, 19 June 2013 (UTC)Sandrkam (talk) 00:40, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

Comment - I have done a major overhaul of this article. Citations are properly formatted, meets NPOV, puffery deleted and there are some decent secondary sources. A few primary sources confirm claims of 'editor' etc and as such are appropriate as there is no interpretation. Flat Out let's discuss it 02:17, 19 June 2013 (UTC)
