Maher Meshaal

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails general notability and music bio criteria, created by single purpose account adding promotional material about ISIL. -- Callinus (talk) 20:48, 10 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Disagree this is not a notable article, maher meshaal was featured on Saudi TV in a nasheed competition and he was the producer of the most famous songs of IS. You are being unfair on the account, it is well sourced with reliable sources and the article isn't written in a promotional way. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.244.77.96 (talk • contribs) 14:12, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

 * Hey I created this page, not sure how you can assert this is a SPA or promotional based on a single page creation and two attempted picture adding, tthis is simply a subject I'm interested in. Maher meshaal is obviously a notable figure, as evidenced by his history and that many sources reported his death. Not sure how the chief song producer of the main news item every single day could not be notable...The article is reliably sourced and I think it is a useful contribution to the wiki.

Relisting comment: Relisting this for a third time with the hope that we can get some actual discussion on this. Does the community find the coverage on the death of Meshaal to be sufficient to pass WP:GNG, or does it fall under WP:NOTNEWS etc? &mdash; Coffee //  have a cup  //  beans  // 07:29, 1 February 2016 (UTC)

 * Weak keep we have many articles on midlevel ISIL people and some are more poorly sourced or detailed due to limited info available. This is not overly promotional. Legacypac (talk) 08:00, 1 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep perhaps for now as the current coverage may be a start and familiar attention may also be needed. SwisterTwister   talk  06:47, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
