Alkarzabih Shkal

I dclined WP:CSD but this subject is probably not sufficiently notable, per lack of credible sourcing, so I am bringing it here. This may be fixable but maybe not, from a quick Google. Guy (Help!) 13:52, 13 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete - I nominated this for CSD. Author is part of a sock farm who has also been vandalising, and creating disparaging anti-American pages(drafts), in addition to obviously fabricated ones. Obviously here not to create an encyclopedia but instead on an ideological crusade. The references do not support anything that is claimed and a Google doesn't reveal a thing, and so doesn't even pass WP:GNG David. moreno 72    15:30, 13 October 2016 (UTC)

 * Speedy delete G3. Per my comments at the related Articles for deletion/Shamarkazün, nothing here is factual and the sources are misrepresented. The Arabic-language page that forms the bulk of the sourcing does not say anything that the article implies it does. The Chicago Times link is dead; however, this was a wire service article, and the LA Times version is helpfully still present. It does in fact describe the death of three rebels killed by rocket fire, but notably does not mention Alkarzabih Shkal or his cousins. It is important not to confuse this purported individual with Albarrani Shkal, who was the very real former military governor of Tripoli (until his 2012 assassination). Albarrani might even be notable. The only appearance of "Alkarzabih" in any form in reliable sources is this article mentioning an "Alkarzabih Air Base" near Sirte (which I believe to be an alternative transliteration for Ghardabiya Air Base). In any case, there's no mention of an Alkarzabih Shkal in any reliable sources, nor even in any unreliable sources outside of Wikipedia. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 15:30, 13 October 2016 (UTC)
