Soft deleted at AfD in September, then restored. Notability stills looks highly doubtful to me - plenty of launch PR but no real in depth coverage in RIS. Mccapra (talk) 07:14, 3 December 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete: The previously-soft-deleted version was undeleted "to better the article" but the references are those considered in the previous AfD. It was then moved to draft with the comment "Likely COI, resubmit through AfC" but then just moved back. Repeating my delete rationale from the previous discussion: An article based on announcement coverage for a new start-up "which comes to light before the end year" and featuring uncited claims to notability. (The same new editing account has also created a similar Draft:Al Mashhad Channel on the same venture.) The referenced coverage fails WP:CORPDEPTH; I am not seeing evidence that this particular "Al Mashhad" venture meets WP:NCORP. AllyD (talk) 08:09, 3 December 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep: The the page has huge credibility and notability in the non English speaking space with a plethora of Arabic sources and English sources. If the only criteria is only English sources we will miss out on a lot of credible non English entities, regional businesses and articles. The page is immensely notable in Arabic and English with credible sources in Arabic and English . It is a notable entity in the non English and Arabic speaking world as well as English  (Yubabaogino (talk) 07:32, 5 December 2022 (UTC))
 * Can you link to some examples of the plethora of reliable Arabic sources please? Mccapra (talk) 08:38, 9 December 2022 (UTC)
