Isam al Khafaji : After researching more of what's out there, he is at best a minor academic and war advocate.

DreamRimmer ( talk ) 04:19, 28 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Weak keep .  He is obviously a prolific commentator but in depth sourcing about him isn’t particularly easy to come by.  I found 1 , 2 and 3 and similar.  Mccapra ( talk ) 05:28, 28 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Thank you.  I was hopeful the links would help demonstrate GNG but they do not unfortunately.  They achieve the opposite effect.  I assume Google Translate is not too bad for this.  1 is not a reliable source and says very little about him.  Basic bio info and looks like a contributor profile.  2 is someone's blog and most of the content is condemning the US occupation of Iraq.  All it says about Al-Khafaji is that he left the "occupation administration".  3 is a basic record information on a paper he wrote.  At best the links tell us he exists, but do not help with GNG to presume notability and beyond that do not help make the case for notability and inclusion.

The sources stated in this AfD aren't eligible for GNG in my opinion, as well as the ones already existing Karnataka ( talk ) 16:42, 12 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment.  As this AfD heads towards the end of its second week, I have two observations.  A lack of interest in this subject both through editing and this AfD.  The one vote says "Weak keep" but makes a strong case for deletion citing difficulty in finding any "in depth sourcing" and providing 3 links that are nothing close to in-depth sourcing.  All 3 are non-RS, 2 barely mention the subject's name saying almost nothing about him, and the other is a very short contributor profile on a media site.

Talk!  01:33, 21 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Weak delete , despite Twinkle1990's excellent work.  I'd say that the 2003 interview and profile constitutes an item of in-depth coverage, but there isn't much else to combine it with to support a BLP-compliant article.  (And to address a question that perhaps nobody but me was asking, I'll note in passing that while I am generally not a supporter of AFD's ill-considered tradition of ignoring persuasive authority from other Wikipedias, in this case ar:عصام_الخفاجي appears to have been translated from EN in 2020 and so its existence doesn't really reflect independent editorial judgment that we could learn from.)  -- Visviva ( talk ) 02:28, 21 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete .  Does not appear to pass WP:NAUTHOR or WP:NPROF .  All the sources in the article and mentioned in this AFD have various problems, including appearing like personal websites/blogs so unreliable, not containing significant coverage, being an interview so not independent, or being written by himself so not independent.  Therefore, this individual doesn't appear to pass WP:GNG .  No merge or redirect targets come to mind.  – Novem Linguae ( talk ) 07:54, 21 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate.  Please do not modify it.
