Al-Thakera Publishing House

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Iraqi Arabic language publisher, while locally notable and laudable, fails WP:NORG and, ultimately, WP:GNG. Arguably past the bar for Arwiki, not for Enwiki. Alexandermcnabb (talk) 16:36, 11 October 2022 (UTC)

Al Jazeera Media Network which is internationally media resource founded from Qatar (not Iraqi (local) resource) and it talks about one of the international edition wich was published by Al-Thakera Publishing House. Another independent and notable resorce wich was Youm7, Sada El-Balad and El Fagr these 3 resources are an Egyptian newspapers and journals that insure the internationally notable of Al-Thakera Publishing House. Secondly, Maysalun Hadi was nominated for the Arabic Booker Prize by a book published by Al-Thakera Publishing House. Also Hadia Hussein who are an author in Al-Thakera Publishing House and was nominated for the Arabic Booker Prize and have an international books one of them translated to English and the other was translated to Serbian. The 3rd point is that I don’t know how you judge that this organisation is accept in Ar Wiki and is not in En Wiki! Be sure that all the articles in Ar wiki must meet the notablility criteria to be accepted, and I think you have creat a lot of article of UAE community here in En Wiki??!!!! So why you translate or published these Arabic articles here as you saw that Arabic article is sutable only in Ar Wiki!! Finally from the above-mentioned, I think the Article meet the criteria of WP:GNG & WP:NORG. Thanks a lot, My greetings Dr. Mustafa Ahmed (talk) 21:35, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep per the Article is meet the WP:GNG & WP:NORG. And there are many resources that insure the notablility as internationally (not locally) as in the next resources:
 * I'm also rather bemused by the nominator's claim that this might get past the bar for the Arabic Wikipedia but not for the English. Are notability guidelines really that different? There is certainly nothing in the notability guidelines at English Wikipedia that even remotely suggests that we discriminate based on where the subject is located or what language it most often uses.

 * Keep. WP:AUD states that while only local sources are not an indication of notability, having at least one regional or international source can be. Al Jazeera is certainly an international source, and Dr. Mustafa Ahmed explains others in his comment above.
