This person is not notable per WP:BIO or WP:PROF. As well, the article was created, it seems, by his son in seeming violation of WP:COI. Nondistinguished 16:07, 18 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Weak keep. I don't think he fails notability criteria (involved in major international event, author of non-trivial book, founded a major business...) but the article suffers from WP:COI and WP:SPAM issues. Is WP:PROF being cited because he's listed as a 'Middle East Expert' on a website? Otherwise, I'm not sure those criteria apply. Hopefully someone can fix the article up.

 * The book is pretty trivial. PublishAmerica does not publish non-trivial books, I'd say. --Nondistinguished 21:21, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
 * He also has not founded any major company. I don't know where you came up with that. --Nondistinguished 21:24, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
 * It was in his wikipedia page (I was assuming that it was correct information, a makeup company in Lebanon). I don't know what to make of these self-published books, I was going by the fact that it's on sale at major internet retailers and reviewed at Amazon. I struck the non-trivial remark.

 * I was under the impression that "Beauty Magic" was a subsidiary of Holiday Magic, but I may be wrong. It's impossible to say because I don't think we can verify this particular fact as the company, if it ever did exist, would have records that would be almost impossible to access. I don't see this company as being "major" in any case. --Nondistinguished 22:15, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Only book is self-published (by Publish America), and I can't see any other possible notability. Not an academic, by the way.DGG (talk) 20:36, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, subject appears accomplished, but is not notable. Only real claim would be the kidnapping but that was resolved quickly. --Dhartung | Talk 05:56, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
