 * Keep. The "unknown local websites" include Deutsche Welle, Germany's national overseas broadcaster. The references may be unfamiliar to a North American audience, but I think they add up to notability. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 10:57, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
 * The previous AfD, Articles for deletion/Abdulrahman Akkad, was closed as Keep on July 12, 2021. The nominator of the first AfD,, was blocked as a sockpuppet. رر(talk • contribs) 11:01, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
 * comment hello Eastmain, Can you see the unknown local sites and their Alexa rank and then judge them for reliability?

Let's analyze the sites, 1- https://mannschaft.com/ This site is ranked according to Alexa 8 million, which is a number that is not a good site ranking. Anyone can create a site and its ranking becomes like this! 2- https://philosophia-perennis.com/ same, and this site https://xsxm.de/ave-281-abdulrahman-akkad/ He has no rank, also 90% like this and sources are PR pieces anyways --Hasan AB123 (talk) 11:14, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep - there is plenty of mainstream German coverage. Mccapra (talk) 11:33, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep - significant news coverage exists. Peter303x (talk) 01:00, 21 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep There's plenty of reliable sources proving notability.--SouthernNights (talk) 20:11, 21 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment I am fairly certain the AfD nominator is a sock of this prolific user, and he has been canvassing this anyway. Suggest speedy close as keep/non-procedural. Kingsif (talk) 12:08, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Procedural Keep For now. Although I'm not as sure about the referencing as others. A paring down of promotional language & Peacocking and removal of unreliable sourcing (which currently include Instagram, Facebook, and Podcast interviews) is needed at minimum and notability should also be easier to assess afterwards.
