Non-notable person. Being related to a notable person in itself confers no degree of notability upon that person. Andy14and16 (talk) 19:25, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep Members of the royal family of a nation, especially direct relations to the ruler are generally considered notable, per Notability (royalty). But, regardless of that, I have added some other sources that confirm that he is (or was) the minister of Oil and Finance of Qatar, which is more than enough notability there.

 * Keep - Although Notability (royalty) is a failed proposal and is not in itself a reason to cite for keeping an article, the subject was indeed a minister in the Qatari government per the sources cited. --Darkwind (talk) 22:52, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. Sources verify he was a government minister. --Mkativerata (talk) 23:06, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. Well-referenced and satisfies the inclusion/ notability criteria IMHO. Scieberking (talk) 02:11, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep passes WP:POLITICIAN. Colonel Warden (talk) 19:53, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Click on the Google news link at the top of the AFD. The New York Times thinks he is notable.  Plus the rulers of a country are notable.   D r e a m Focus  23:41, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
