No evidence person meets Wikipedia:Notability (academics). Only reference is not independent of the subject. LukeSurl t c 14:38, 9 May 2016 (UTC)

  • Delete as nothing apparent for any applicable notability, WP:PROF or WP:GNG. Inviting {{U|DGG}} for professors notability. SwisterTwister talk 04:51, 17 May 2016 (UTC)
  • Keep. Judging by the not very helpful Google translation of the Arabic WP article,he appears to be significant as a writer and scholar. Unfortunately I do not have the language ability to read the sources, nor to look for additional ones, or even prepare a proper bibliography. this is an example of DGG ( talk ) 06:38, 17 May 2016 (UTC)

  • Keep The Arabic article cites a few more sources, all in Arabic. One is his own site [http://www.sayyaraljamil.com/Arabic/viewarticle.php?id=CV_and_Photos-20130124-2023], but the other seem quite reliable and somewhat independent. I don't have the language skills to figure out if the other sources are worth anything, but I suspect they might indeed be, so I am !voting keep as I think there is a reasonable chance he passes GNG—  crh 23  (Talk) 10:16, 18 May 2016 (UTC)

  • Comment If "professor" is used in the European sense, he is almost certainly notable. Unfortunately I also do not read Arabic, so that I cannot judge. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:47, 28 May 2016 (UTC)
  • Delete Without proper sourcing (that we can read) we cannot definitively state the subject passes GNG or PROF and I see no reason to presume he does. I encourage Ar-wiki to develop this article and translate material across. Meanwhile, I'm not tripping over myself with foolishness about {{tq|"cultural bias"}}. I decide based on facts.
