Deletion of Antoun Sehnaoui

Comment: The good news is that the -violating unsourced contentious content has been removed from the article. The bad news is that that content was the only interesting thing in the article. I would like to reiterate my "delete" recommendation from two weeks ago on the grounds that the article can be re-created at a later date if someone wants to completely redo the article to provide a balanced article about the subject using valid sources, rather than the current version where the text ignores his controversies and most of the supposed sources don't mention the subject

Comment: I don't know if he's notable or not; I'm guessing he is but I do see the problem with the need for accurate, useful sources.  I'll try to take a look into that issue in more detail tomorrow.  However, I did want to post here that I am about to delete the Controversy section.  I know that we normally don't want to blank parts of pages that are under AfD, and my intention is not in any way to influence the AfD.  However, my understanding of  is that negative unsourced information must be removed immediately, no questions asked.  This is extremely negative and seems like a potential problem for the project.  If I am misinterpreting policy, however, please let me know

Comment: due to severe problems with |sourcing. The article has numerous footnotes, but every one I checked goes to a link that is either broken or doesn't mention the subject. If there are valid sources out there that actually confirm that this person has done what he is claimed to have done, the supporters of this article need to locate them and replace the current non-useful sources with useful ones

Comment: After looking over the article, it does appear that we don't have enough non-broken sources to justify a BLP, yet.  The most promising qualifications for notability appear to be his founding of the magazine, and the so-called "Oceana Effect."  For both of these, though, we need reliable, secondary sources directly attributing these things to the subject, not to the companies he worked with and/or owned.  Should the contentious comments become an important issue in Lebanon and be sourceable, then those could also be a source of notability, although they won't be enough as a sole source of notability (per ).  I agree with the above--let the creator take the article back to userspace, find some more sources, and then re-submit once the article is more appropriate.  While I'm just a relatively new editor, I'd be glad to help review the author's work later on to determine if/when moving to mainspace is appropriate--Just contact me on my talk page
