Seems to be non-notable, although as always with non-western names, it may be a spelling problem. I've tried a few, though, and can't find anything. The links at the bottom which purport to lead to sources about this guy are actually about Carlos Slim instead. &mdash; alf.laylah.wa.laylah (talk) 04:01, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
 * comment&mdash;And then there is this, which seems to be the source of the picture, or something weird, anyway. And the article on arabic wikipedia for good measure, created at same time by same user.  Also contested prod, I forgot to mention.&mdash; alf.laylah.wa.laylah (talk) 04:11, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Comment - Not that it has any bearing on this deletion discussion, but the Egyptian language version has been deleted. -- Whpq (talk) 18:40, 21 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete as a hoax. Good find on that image. The article is close to incomprehensible.  Given the image is not what is claimed, its not surprising other things don;t make sense.  All the references are for Carlos Slim who is assuredly not Egyptian.  The infobox claims he is president of Toronto Petroleum.  Assuming this company is the one being referred to, then the president is Mohammed H. Al Mana.  There is a claim that he was one of the richest people in Canada in 2010 but he doesn't appear in this top 100 richest people in Canada for 2010.  And really, why would he be one of the richest people in Canada?  I also cannot find any evidence he is in any position of power with the current military regime in Egypt.  Nothing checks out. -- Whpq (talk) 18:38, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete. Half is obvious copy of Carlos Slim article.  Other half unsourced mess that doesn't check out.  Very probably a hoax.-- Escape Orbit  (Talk) 23:35, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment&mdash;I just nominated it as a speedy g12 because of this. We'll see what happens, I suppose.&mdash; alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 17:57, 23 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment - Are you sure that somebody didn't just set up that web site and copy the Wikipedia content? -- Whpq (talk) 18:02, 23 November 2011 (UTC)
 * The thought certainly crossed my mind, but I don't see how it matters if the site's not explicitly a wikipedia mirror. The website has no license on it, so it seems that prudence dictates that we treat it as a copyright violation unless that fact changes.  If this is the wrong way to go about it, I suppose that the speedy will be declined.&mdash; alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 20:00, 23 November 2011 (UTC)
