 * Delete nothing indicates that he rises to the level of being a notable filmmaker.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:59, 15 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep I'm finding lots of sources. German public broadcaster ADR did a documentary piece on him. It hasn't just been the Facebook suspension that's been covered. Prominent and controversial filmmaker.FloridaArmy (talk) 02:30, 16 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Would it be possible to add the sources so we can have a look? Domdeparis (talk) 11:19, 17 January 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete per WP:TNT. The article is almost entirely unsourced original research and appears non neutral. For example, I found this passage in German press:
 * Imad Karim is allegedly a TV journalist - only for a very long time without TV releases. In the 90's he had been able to realize some productions for ARD stations. But that was a long time ago. He earns his living as a commercial filmmaker, which does not stop him from calling himself a "director" and "TV journalist". (Not sure if this is a reliable source or not.)
 * I'm seeing some interviews with the subject, but nothing in depth about him. Not finding anything in Google Books. Without proper sourcing, this article is not viable. There may be a notable topic here somewhere (of which I'm not convinced), but this article ain't it. K.e.coffman (talk) 19:29, 21 January 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete - trivial coverage. PhilKnight (talk) 01:34, 23 January 2018 (UTC)
