Ehab Lotayef

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

Advertorialized WP:BLP of a writer and activist, not properly sourced as passing our notability criteria for writers or activists. The notability claim here is essentially that he and his work exist, which is not an automatic inclusion freebie per se -- the notability test is not the things the article says, but the amount of reliable source media coverage that can or can't be shown to support the things it says. But this is referenced almost entirely to primary and unreliable sources that aren't support for notability at all, with the exception of two brief glancing namechecks of his existence as a provider of soundbite in news stories about other things, which is not the kind of media coverage we're looking for. (We need coverage in which he is the subject being discussed, not coverage in which he's a provider of an opinion about some other subject.) This is also a clearcut conflict of interest, as based on the usernames he and Mohamed Sherif Kamel (also up for AFD) essentially played the "I'll post the article about you and you post the article about me, so that we can't be accused of violating WP:AUTOBIO" game, which is not an acceptable bypass of our rules. Nothing stated here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt Ehab Lotayef from having to be referenced considerably better than this. Bearcat (talk) 21:39, 7 January 2022 (UTC)
