Ayham Barghuthi

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

There are claims of notability, but the sources do not come close to verifying. Either they are not reliable sources, or the content does not contain any info about the subject. Further google searches show virtually no information about subject (all content scraped from this article), no results for subject in google news. Google also offers very little about the company, IAM.

 * Delete So long there are no sources to backup these claims of notability, this BLP should be deleted. Jujutacular talkcontribs 18:41, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

There are currently 3 people working on this article, it seems no one looks at the talk or discussion pages of the articles anymore these days.

Google gives results on IAM INC not IAM. You also get more information by searchig officialiam.

Your name is Omar so I am safe to assume you speak arabic, unless you are from a non arab speaking muslim country. THe point of this is that if you search in arabic you are better off with the results.

I am wih you on that some sources are unlclear or don't point directly to the point mentioned, yet I am working with the guys on fixing this as I have found better and more reliable sources and I am in touch with the person doing the re-write yet I refused to let them publish it due to minor inaccurcies such as networth which they state as 46-7 which is incorrect as this is the worth of the corporation not the person.

I hereby request the page is removed from deletion, given a deadline of 1 month for readjustment and then re-evaluated. — 132.205.243.77 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.  Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:03, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * 20-Mule-Team Delete: Let's examine. The first source in the article (from the Jordanian government) doesn't mention Barghuthi.  The second source leads to a search tab from which Barghuthi doesn't show up.  And so on and so forth ... the sources given either aren't reliable (about half of them are from the corporation Barghuthi purportedly runs) and none of them mention his name.  The website for this IAM INC hasn't been updated in a year, and since it claims to have a Boston office, being a Boston local, I did a look up on the number.  According to whitepages.com the Boston number is in fact an unpublished cell phone number.  So are the numbers for its New York and Los Angeles "offices," although the unpublished number for its Montreal "office" is at least a landline; all very peculiar for a corporation purportedly involved in public relations. Finally, as far as the "three" people working on the article goes, I see one SPA, beyond a second SPA whose three Wikipedia edits are in this article.  Frankly, given the inflated claims of the article backed with a complete lack of reliable sources, I suspect hoax, if a very energetic one.  In any event, I have no problem with the creator/s reinstating a deleted article if they come up with actual reliable proof of those claims.    Ravenswing  09:41, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Article has not been improved by these three (?) accounts in the last half year. All they could do was defending its current shape by deleting templates, placing a bogus protection notice, replacing one irrelevant link by another, and so on. I have no hope one more month would change it. --Pgallert (talk) 10:07, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

I do not agree with deleting this as I am the one who originally wrote the article. If you examine the links properly it is well clear that because the links are old, they seem to have been deleted by the host. I think a site that gives older versions of the webpage could be useful in showing that the information was indeed there.

If it was a hoax as one claims, I would have made sure the links are always up to par no. I also do not know what template changes and all the things you cliam are. As for the numbers, the address is in Canada hence it is a Canadian company. A simple and proper search could tell you that. I smarter move would be going to the "company registrar of quebec" and searching the company.

If the address is a Canadian address and a company has US numbers for US clients, they are possibly virtual numbers which direct the call to the HQ. Try calling one. I have no idea on the results of your white pages.

I have never seen a corporate site write the name of its staff on its website, that would be a bit odd I guess. Yet IAM Inc and its founder are pretty well known here and in Jordan. There are a few videos I have found that tell a lot yet I never knew if they are a source that can be link as I am very new to wikipedia, this was indeed my first article.

I agree with the person with no signature, I would remove this from deletion and give me time to re-locate links and other sources that would enhance on this article. Otherwise I would request a speedy deletion until I do it myself and repost it as a new article.

Strong Delete the company has a red link, so the company isn't notable. The article is missing cites, and the cites it does have don't seem to match with the article. The article can always be recreated when notability and sources are provided. The Weak Willed 02:39, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
