Laween Al-Atroshi

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Vanispamcruftisement of a non-notable person. Almost all of the sources, which at first glance appear to be reliable media outlets, are in fact, articles that were written by Atroshi, or are self published profiles. Only one of them ([1]) appears to have been written by a third party. His award for 'Ambassador of peace' is ambiguous and falls short of the 'Well-known and significant award or honor ' required by WP:BASIC. Pol430 talk to me 11:43, 18 March 2012 (UTC)


 * I have read the references and can confirm that Laween is a notable person and this profile should not be deleted. Perhaps, more references can be made but the profile meets the Wiki Guidelines.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rainbow5689 (talk • contribs) 12:03, 18 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Laween Atroshi is a notable person and well known within the Kurdish community. The sources are reliable media outlets whereby he has had press interviews. The self-published profiles relate to his demographics details only. Furthermore, the ambassador of peace is not ambiguous as it is a well-known and significant award, and is within the public domain. The references meet wiki gudielines. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bounce5050 (talk • contribs) 11:59, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete fails WP:GNG, WP:BIO, and lacks coverage in independent reliable sources. B  music  ian  07:18, 21 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete I checked about 5 of those "references" in that maze of external links and found nosuitable coverage. If someone can point us to a couple that have substantive coverage on him I'd change to keep.  North8000 (talk) 01:44, 26 March 2012 (UTC)
