Ghalia Benali

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Still questionable for the applicable notability as this contains only one source, from the New York Times, and although my searches found other links at Books and News, there has not been anything particularly convincing this can be a solidly notably improved article. My attempts at any available English Tunisian sources have not been successful, so unless native sources that are sufficient can be found, there's still questionability. I should also note the original author is G5 material since this was August 2013, and the user was first kicked in May 2013, however, since a user added a few changes afterwards, it's unlikely therefore solid G5 material.

 * Keep per obvious lack of WP:BEFORE by the nominator. In addition to GNG, Benali had significant roles in films such as The Season of Men and As I Open My Eyes, therefore barely passing WP:NACTOR. Cavarrone 13:33, 28 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment – Sometimes the default "find sources" links atop discussion do not provide much coverage; sources can often be found by customizing search terms a bit and not relying only on Google.

 * Keep: Adequate indicia of notability.  Another round of people from the third world who do not easily pop up in Google or English language sources.  Yet another AfD waste of bandwidth.  Montanabw (talk)  23:07, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
