Deletion of Al Farooj Fresh

Comment: At the moment, even if the article is relatively short it's '''notability has been established'''. There is a provision for articles that are too short and that's called a . And a look at the article would make it clear that the article is not too short either. Given that the article has been''' nominated for deletion 3'''  times,I had a look at  and couldn't find any criterion Al Farooj failed, so it'd be helpful if you could point that out

Comment: I believe this article ''only just'' fails to make notabililty as noted by Dc. However, in the last week I've seen a number of editors try to improve this article and argue for its inclusion. I've tried to get editors with Arabic language skills to find some sources but this seems to be a slow process on their part. I successfully rescued Aladdin's Eatery because it was based in the US and had plenty of English-language sources, despite not being very different from AFF. I think that there is a need to counter some of the |systemic bias (first time I'd seen that Stifle, it's taught me a lot, thanks) inherent in an English-language encyclopedia trying to cover the globe and it's to be expected that sources in Lebanese are harder to come by. I would suggest no consensus, and in a month's time I'll put this up for AfD myself if these sources haven't appeared. '''Note''' If the closer does delete, please userify to

Comment: Could someone be good enough to remove http://www.albawaba.com/en/business,Retail_and_Services/242126 this source which is used as a reference three times? It is also a press release, as found http://www.ameinfo.com/188962.html here (please read the section at bottom or download the PDF version). References currently numbered http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P2-15350499.html 6 & http://www.khaleejtimes.com/DisplayArticleNew.asp?xfile=data/business/2008/February/business_February677.xml&section=business&col= 8 have previously been identified as press releases and should also be removed. Additionally, links to press releases don't belong in the external links section, per . I would rather not edit the article myself at this point. Thanks

Comment: In addressing concerns that a few of the earlier sources proffered per  were simply reprints of a press release, I just spent a several hours going through the article per |WP:AFTER and . It has been expanded, rewritten, and sourced to multiple |reliable sources so as to meet the , and thus pass . There are not dozens and dozens of sources, as I do not read Arabic, but in the spirit of the noble work of , the significant coverage in multilple reliable sources allows the article to meet the inclusion requirements of the GNG

Comment: I see it's tagged for rescue so I'll hold off on my opinion but will note that the two references given both read like press releases and one is not in-depth by any means and could be argued to be trivial.  That's what I'll be looking at as far as notability, significant in-depth coverage in reliable sources per

Comment: due to http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Al_Farooj_Fresh&diff=290776106&oldid=290094368 improvements made since nomination.  They are enough to persuade me that there is something valid here.  I concede however that I am not an expert of overseas fast food, so I am somewhat |assuming good faith here.  Sincerely
