Puff piece : award-winning (without telling which awards she won), speaks 8 languages (without sources), unprecedented insight. It also contains unreliable sources. &raquo; Shadowowl  &#124;  talk  20:19, 13 July 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete a non-notable journalist.John Pack Lambert (talk) 22:37, 15 July 2018 (UTC)


 * I disagree with this comment above that she is a non-notable journalist. She is a journalist that has not worked most of her career for English-speaking media, but has rather been reporting in Arabic and Spanish, which is why someone from who speaks those languages will be able to find sufficient evidence and sources.

 * Keep AfD is not cleanup - though the article undeniably does need cleanup, Khatib is notable - checking quickly I see mentions of her in multiple full length books about journalism published by academic publishers OUP OUP SAGE Seraphim System  ( talk ) 02:57, 19 July 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep I will be happy to help with cleanup. Learning a lot about editing at the Wikimania event today in Cape Town Bilal Randeree (talk) 12:36, 19 July 2018 (UTC)

 * Strong Keep Tons of mentions in Google Books, one about the Arab Spring describes her as "the most prominent commentator on Tunisia when the country erupted, and she served as a key information broker for the revolution through Twitter" and is mentioned in a 2003 article in the Australian Journalism Review. She's even prominent enough to have been mentioned in the 2016 SAGE Handbook of Digital Journalism. Given this and the comments above I'm convinced there's sufficient sourcing that exists offline and/or in other languages to satisfy the GNG.
