Non-Notable person that has appeared in a single youtube video. UltraMagnus (talk) 19:37, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment -- I started this article shortly after the video appeared. I think the nomination is misleading to imply that this is not just some random youtube video.  It contained the news of the merger two separate branches of Al Qaeda.  The men in this video claimed to be the leaders of this newly merged al Qaeda groups.  Security officials took this claim at face value.  I honestly believe being one of the leaders of a branch of al Qaeda makes one notable.  I honestly believe that having security officials believe one is a senior member of al Qaeda makes one notable -- even if they were mistaken.  Geo Swan (talk) 20:20, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment -- A couple of weeks after the youtube video was uploaded Saudi security officials published a new list of suspected Saudi jihadists. This guy is going to have ended up on that list of 85 men.  A little patience is going to be required to figure out which one.  Then we should merge the two articles, or if he was one of those currently a red-link, we incorporate the info about the most wanted list into this article.

 * Done. Geo Swan (talk) 16:52, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Note: the guy is also alleged to have plotted to target the US Ambassador to Yemen. Geo Swan (talk) 16:52, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep -- for the reasons given above. Geo Swan (talk) 20:20, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete - Reviewed article, violates notability requirements, the suspect's actual identity is not known, and the source provided is not reliable. Would suggest author consider placing under personal space, and trying to bring in corroborating facts and sources before placing it back onto the site.  Otherwise, it should be deleted.--Yachtsman1 (talk) 00:04, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Unanswered questions about a topic are not a good argument for deletion, as I have explained in The earliest sockpuppet to be unmasked... Since the article currently cites multiple references perhaps you could bring yourself to be specific about your reliability concern?  Geo Swan (talk) 00:45, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment -- when this article survives this afd it should be renamed Qassem Mohammed Mahdi Al-Rimi -- which is the transliteration given here. Geo Swan (talk) 16:12, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Passes WP:BIO, uncertainty is well outlined in the article. Ray  Talk 19:44, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
