Haitham El Shoumali

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Lacks substantial RS coverage. Close to nothing on gbooks and gnews combined. My understanding is that placing 7th on a version of Pop Idol does not by itself confer notability on a singer. Epeefleche (talk) 06:36, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Comment There are numerous news results for his name in arabic at places like panet.co.il, Palestine News Network and Arabs48. i can confirm that many are principally about the subject, though i have no idea as to the significance of the coverage, and little of the reliability of the sources. Though this one may or may not be wikinotable, more generally I'm surprised that you do not redirect articles of this type, since you generally research them well before nomination; there are highly accurate targets, and there is AfD if the edit does not stick. You are just being scrupulous, i presume? 86.44.47.170 (talk) 22:16, 14 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Scrupulously paying heed to the fact that some editors aren't on board as to the lack of inherent notability in finishing 7th in one of these Pop Idol-like competitions. I personally would rather see community support for whatever action is taken, rather than myself presume to delete the standalone text myself -- without clear community support -- and redirect the article.  Though, of course, that would save me time, and result in my main goal ... the deletion of the article qua stand-alone, since I believe it is non-notable.--Epeefleche (talk) 22:41, 14 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Super_Star_(Arabic_TV_series) If something can be made of the sources, the option to undo is there. 86.44.31.8 (talk) 06:55, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
 * That seems like a reasonable approach.--Epeefleche (talk) 19:54, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Super Star (Arabic TV series) per 86.44.31.8. This subject does not appear to meet the notability guidelines for biographies. The subject might warrant a sentence or two in the main article. Alpha_Quadrant    (talk)  15:35, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
