Not sure what to do with this one. Is he notable, notable by association, or not notable? Article was largely copied from this website with minor reordering of sentences and phrases. If no one has bothered to make substantial updates to the article, then I reason that he is not notable. Medtopic 00:34, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom for significant copyvio--Jusjih 00:37, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Clearly "notable". Just clean it up. Grace Note 00:42, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment. What specifically makes him notable? The lead suggests that it is because he is "Chairman of the Foundation for Co-Existence", but it's not clear to me that Foundation for Co-Existence is notable either. -Medtopic 00:50, 15 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep. I've never heard of it, but Google shows 276 links to the homepage, although some of these are internal. This organization [] gave £50,000 to their "Gender and Peace Building Progam." The home page International Alert looks legitimate. I just added this homepage to the the page in question. I hope that it isn't a violation of Wiki-etiquette to participate in an AfD discussion and also contribute to a page. Inter lingua  talk 04:12, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Recreate as articles on International Alert and Foundation for Co-existence]. It's these organizations which are notable, not this one person (page as it is smacks of inappropriate vanity article). Bwithh 22:41, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
