Abdulla Issa

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails WP:GNG - most of the sources (if not all) do not look like WP:RS to me. I can't even confirm that there is a Palestinian poet named Abdulla Issa. Maybe someone who speaks Russian or Arabic can help with this, but I can't find any mention of him in any English language sources. The article also seems to have been created only a few months after the 12 year old Abdullah Issa was beheaded - I considered nominating it for speedy deletion as a hoax, but maybe someone else can find a source that confirms there was a Palestinian poet from Syria who moved to the Soviet Union and directed a film called "Muslims are proud of Russia" to show that there is no conflict between the term "Muslim" and "Russian patriot".

 * Weak Keep - Not a hoax (Can't verify all details, but the guy does exist in Russia). I suspect this was machine-translated from the Russian wiki (as google-translate of the Russian wiki is surprisingly similar and contains similar language issues). Some of the sources are bad. Others are OK (even if passing mention), e.g. -, , . I didn't go over all of them - and many are bad (not RS), or not too good (passing mentions) - they do need to be pared down and reffed - but my Russian is not up to task on this.Icewhiz (talk) 19:17, 24 June 2017 (UTC)
 * OK, al watan does seem to verify that he exists, thank you. I'm still not sure if it is enough for WP:GNG so I will just let the AfD run so other editors can comment. Seraphim System  ( talk ) 12:34, 25 June 2017 (UTC)
