 * – ( View AfD View log )

Not enough in-depth coverage to pass WP:GNG, and he doesn't seem to meet any of the criteria of WP:NSCHOLAR.  Onel 5969  TT me 16:24, 26 February 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep - User:onel5969 Hello dear. Abd al-Sattar Qasim's article is an encyclopedic article, because Dr. Abd al-Sattar Qasim was a certified Palestinian politician and a university doctor, and he has dozens of books that talked about international politics, and he is also a scientific researcher in the field of politics and sociology. And Abdul Sattar Qassem died from the Corona virus. He is a Palestinian legal person. I hope to reconsider the topic of deleting the article. Accept my greetings --Osps7 (talk) 16:45, 26 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi - took the liberty of adding a keep !vote to your note above, forgive me if that was presumptuous, but it seemed to be what you were indicating. I also formatted you comment to keep it flowing in the discussion.  Please read WP:GNG to see what constitutes notability.  I couldn't find any in-depth sourcing to show that this particular person meets the criteria.  But there may be sources in other languages which did not show up in my searches.

 * Being a certified politician and doctor is not, in its own right, ample grounds for a wikipedia page. an article needs to demonstrate that an individual is notable, by showing that he has recieved significant coverage. Totalstgamer (talk) 16:50, 26 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Weak Delete 3 out of 4 of this article's links are to material created by the individual, and are not of sources showcasing his notability, the last one is an article about his death, and might be ample ground for keeping the article if more sources are listed at other points in his life, or referring to his various creations Totalstgamer (talk) 16:50, 26 February 2021 (UTC)

 * Reply - User:onel5969 Hello dear, Abdul Sattar Qassem is influential in the Palestinian people, and has many references in the Arabic language, and he is also a former candidate for the Palestinian presidency. He is a famous Arab academic, you can look at his article in Arabic, and he is also one of the oldest who obtained a doctorate in political science. In the event of a shortage of references, I will pledge to add more and more remarkable references. Accept my regards and respect. Osps7 (talk) 21:07, 26 February 2021 (UTC)
 * I would certainly suggest adding more references. as it stands, that appears to be the main reason for this article's deletion nomination Totalstgamer (talk) 22:39, 26 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Comment - based on 's comment above, if the result is delete, I would suggest draftifying the article so that they can work on it.  Onel 5969  TT me 00:12, 27 February 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: A number of "keep" !votes don't have any policy backing. Relisting to evaluate source provided by hroest.
 * Keep - based on this article about his death, it seems the Middle East Eye is a reputable and independent English outlet, so I think this is enough to source the article. --hroest
 * Keep - from obit found by hroest. -- Michael Scott Cuthbert (talk) 00:38, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep I concur with the statements made by Osps7 and hroest. Rest in peace, Abd al-Sattar Qasim. Jonathan170 (talk) 00:47, 6 March 2021 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Daniel (talk) 23:40, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep in addition to the Middle East Eye there is some coverage extablishing him as a prominent political scientist/national figure, including, , , and more. Described as well known critic and opponent, , p. 151-152. There's enough online and in english to provide a viable argument for notability (I'd vote 'weak keep') and that is upgraded to firm 'keep' when considering there is almost definitely much more coverage of a similar type in Arabic and offline.
