Iqbal Al Asaad

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

While her story is inspiring, the coverage provided is passing and I doubt the article meets WP:ANYBIO.  Dr Strauss   talk   22:29, 5 October 2017 (UTC)
 * - it looks like this person also has another article, Iqbal Mahmoud Al Assad. I'm not voting for or against deletion overall, but I do note that the older entry claims that they've won some sort of award. The source doesn't go to the correct news article, so we'll likely need someone who can search in Arabic to see if they can find the correct source. I'll drop a line at one of the applicable WikiProjects to see if someone can do a search - and so they can tell us if this award is major or not. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 13:31, 6 October 2017 (UTC)

 * Weak Delete I do see some more sources in a BEFORE, but not enough for GNG. Amenable to changing my vote if tgere are significant Arabic sources out there.Icewhiz (talk) 18:16, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Strong delete a 20-year-old is not a "child prodigy" so we have sources misusing terms. Being a prodigy is not a claim to being a notable person, and under no circumstances are people in medical residency notable. So the whole article has no sign of notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 06:34, 7 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete - Mostly per Johnpacklambert. Where's the notability? --  Dane  talk  20:20, 7 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I want to note that this is a duplicate article and that there is a lot more coverage in the Arabic Wikipedia entry. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 01:09, 9 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I've tagged this as a duplicate and if overall deletion is to occur, I'd like it to be judged against the original entry. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 01:30, 9 October 2017 (UTC)


 * Merge into Iqbal Mahmoud Al Assad and work on improving that one. Zerotalk 02:13, 9 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I believe we should discuss both here. Looking at the sources at Iqbal Mahmoud Al Assad - it does not seem to pass GNG. She had some coverage in 2013 for her graduation at the age of 20 (and most of the sources covering this event are basically covering the same thing). Other than that, she was listed in in 2016 (Arabic, place 82) - mostly for being a young doctor. What are the grounds for notability?Icewhiz (talk) 06:26, 9 October 2017 (UTC)
