Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Fawaz Akhras
He satisfies |notability guidelines including  criteria (substantial coverage by multiple, independent, third-party |reliable sources). His name brings up 87 articles in google news with a very large number of national level newspapers.  His name also brings up 15,400 total google hits. This shows the wide interest in this person. And he appears to be part of the Syrian president Bashar al-Assad ruling circle based on the leaked emails and embassy cables (US government suspects Akhras to be a key figure used by Assad to hide funds abroad; also he was advising the Syrian President during the crackdown of anti-regime protestors). He is a founding Director of the British Syrian Society and is involved with a number of Syrian causes. So being the father of the wife of Assad is only part of his notability
