I don't believe this meets WP:GNG. Simply being a candidate in the presidential election really isn't notable. There is no significant press coverage of the subject, in fact there's only one source on the article. A Google search reveals nothing for this person. st170e^talk 22:57, 30 October 2014 (UTC)

:*Comment: If you search "الصافي سعيد" you get over 2.8 million hits. Of course, I don't know if they are all him, but I think since his journalism is mostl in Arabic, this could account for the discrepancy--Esprit15d • talk • contribs 16:59, 5 November 2014 (UTC).

• Keep. His article on French Wikipedia suggests that he was quite a prominent figure in the Arab world even before his candidacy. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:16, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
• Keep per french article and news hits.--Esprit15d • talk • contribs 16:56, 5 November 2014 (UTC)

• Delete The French WP article is all of 3 or 4 sentences, and there are 2 references, both of which are extremely short (a few sentences each). I did find a few other short articles in French, but unless there are other significant sources, this person is not WP:NOTABLE. I actually followed through on the search in Arabic, and again only found very short articles (which I couldn't read, but I could see their length). LaMona (talk) 20:10, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
• Keep, clearly notable, see for example campaign meet in Gafsa, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAokOy9i1ZU .

• Delete Lacks the coverage required to meet the GNG and being a candidate is not sufficient to show notability as a politician. Youtube videos are not reliable sources. Not all language WPs have the same criteria, but he doesn't seem to meet any of the English ones.131.118.229.17 (talk) 21:17, 25 November 2014 (UTC)
