Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mostafa Mahmoud
Excellent work! I'm glad you were able to find some off-line references. While searching through the history trying to determine Mahmud's correct DOB, I found http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mustafa_Mahmud&oldid=43118049 this revision. It's written in the first person, meaning it was either written by Mahmud himself () or copied and pasted from somewhere (WP:COPYVIO). The other thing to keep in mind is that, when reading through that version, you'll see that much of the text is Mahmud describing his father, not himself. This distinction was warped and misconstrued over the years as editors changed instances of "my" to "his". Some of the content that's there now might have to be removed entirely
