Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Youssef Barakat
even if sources were theoretically available, we cannot speculate on their contents. We cannot assume that they prove either side of the argument, and since our core |verifiability policy clearly states that ''"If no reliable, third-party sources can be found for an article topic, Wikipedia should not have an article on it."'' we cannot keep an article just in case sources exist and happen to back up the stance. It is not whether sources exist somewhere, it is whether they have been found. It is clearly not acceptable to keep an article because there "may" be reliable sources out there that prove notability and back up the assertions made here. What it comes down to is there are no reliable sources present, or have been found by the several users who have looked, to back up the LPL being fully-professional. Given that this is a |living person's biography, which can do significant damage to someone's life if some unsourced claims are inserted (which is very likely given WP's current practices), the probably-not-notable should not be kept unless there is actual evidence that they meet our inclusion criteria — which we just don't have. –&nbsp
