 * Comment. I've added a couple of sources that transliterate the subject's first name as "Ahmed". There may be other transliterations that I haven't yet checked (such as "El" rather than "Al" and other possible renditions of "Bahrani") and I note that searches for the name in Arabic get quite a few hits (Google Books, Google News), but I don't know how many, if any, of them are for this subject. I would also note that I see no evidence for this being a "vanity article", so the nominator's accusation is, as unsourced negative content, a violation of WP:BLP, which applies to discussions as well as to articles.

 * One of the sources is evidence towards notability, the other is just an exhibition listing . I'm Neutral now, but happy change to keep if other sources can be found.--Ethicoaestheticist (talk) 20:54, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete. I think WP:CREATIVE is the appropriate criterion to consider in this case, rather than WP:PROF. But a single reliable source attesting to a show in an art gallery (the other source mentions him only trivially) isn't the "significant or well-known work, or collective body of work" required by that criterion, and there isn't anything in the article that his work is in the permanent collections of major museums or would pass through some other means. I tried searching Google news archive for anything about his Olympic ring sculpture in Doha but came up empty. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:33, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
