A variety of impressive claims are on offer here, but I see no way to source them -- news results for Ahmed Seddik are not many and mainly to other people, and there is virtually nothing in Gscholar. Perhaps sources are available in Arabic -- if so, great. But I don't think we want an article like this that has virtually no prospect of being sourced properly.

 * Delete. Seems like a young and talented person, who could achieve notability in the future, but who has still a long way to go. I am always suspicious of notability when subjects state on the own web sites (see http://www.ahmedseddik.com) that they are experts in areas as diverse as Egyptology, linguistics, mathematics and physics. Perhaps they were very talented in all those areas in high school and/or college, because they were outstanding students, but WP:PROF notability refers to a much higher level and usually more focused expertise.--Eric Yurken (talk) 14:46, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. I deprodded this article at one stage, mistaking the subject for another person. Notability does not yet seem to have been achieved but may be in future. More substantive WP:RSs are required. Xxanthippe (talk) 01:24, 28 September 2009 (UTC).
 * Delete. Rational in my previous PROD. 黒い白い (KuroiShiroi) 02:54, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not yet notable, makes it very difficult to properly source. Kevin (talk) 06:06, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment. In view of current activity on the page it may have to be salted. Xxanthippe (talk) 09:37, 30 September 2009 (UTC).
 * Delete Not notable at moment, with a lack of sources of information. Admittedly, I didn't look at Arabic language sources, but Google News gave a minor mention at ufolog.ru (9 Sep 2009), another one at CNN Student News (5 June 2009), where he respond's to Obama's US-Muslim speech. Other than that, all the other Google news resutls are about a footballer, and one of Saddam Hussein's lawyers. Google Scholar and Google Books returned nothing about this Egyptologist. --  Phantom Steve  ( Contact Me, My Contribs ) 14:17, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
