Ahmed Mansur (film director)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Lacks independent coverage. Sources are press releases, some coverage such as this is the typical typo-filled sponsored coverage. The COVID film is not notable, could not verify in other sources that he has directed TV shows. Usually, film directors receive plenty of passing mentions in independent sources ("in blabla which was directed by X") but there is no such coverage to be found here. – Thjarkur (talk) 09:23, 26 September 2020 (UTC)

 * ```comment``` - having looked through this article I cannot see any reliable sources which provide significant, independent coverage of this subject. If I could see at least two then I would vote to keep this, otherwise I will vote to delete. User:Mag Gen PA, would you kindly highlight the two sorces which best demonstrate this subject's notability? --Salimfadhley (talk) 08:42, 1 October 2020 (UTC)


 * Hi Salimfadhley in arabic or english? i can provide 5 references and two are in english and rest are arabic newspaper.

--Maj Gen PA (talk) 14:06, 1 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Let's start with the 2 English sources. Very few Wikipedia-En editors can read Arabic, so Arabic sources will take much more time to be verified. Please identify which two sources most indicate the notability of this subject. --Salimfadhley (talk) 14:29, 1 October 2020 (UTC)


 * Hi Salimfadhley Daily Pakistan is a english newspaper of Pakistan and same as Daily Times and many articles here on Wikipedia has source of them so if you ignored that two top newspapers then here i found two more links.


 * I have reviewed these references, and neither seem to be significant coverage. They are very short biographical articles from relatively unknown publishers. If these are the best sources we have in English, then based on that I am inclined to vote to delete the or bump the article back to draft-status until we can verify the Arabic references. --Salimfadhley (talk) 15:55, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

Rest i have found many references in arabic as he is Iraqi. --Maj Gen PA (talk) 15:30, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

- delete - The English sources do not seem to be sufficient to show notability, the Arabic sources seem to be little more than press releases. The sources that were offered do not offer the kind of significant coverage that would show notability. --Salimfadhley (talk) 16:12, 1 October 2020 (UTC)
