 * Keep Clearly notable. This AfD is frivolous. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 12:26, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Since it is clear and you have done a search, please provide three sources that cover the subject in depth and are verifiable, reliable and independent of the subject. -- A Rose Wolf  12:57, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect - The subject is referred to as an "obscure figure" and the "head of a small, officially sanctioned opposition group". Can not find any reliable sources that give the subject in-depth coverage. My assessment is that it should be a redirect to 2021 Syrian presidential election. -- A Rose Wolf  13:06, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment - In the Guardian article, his name is given as "Marie", not "Marei". Is this just an error? Deb (talk) 18:30, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes, a lazy error. Also there's a transliteration issue at hand, 'cos Arabic has to jump scripts. So you might see Marey or Maree or Maray. In Arabic, مرعي is 'Ma rei'. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 07:17, 4 June 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep - Articles about party leaders are generally allowed, and I don't see any reason why this page would be any different. --Posted by Pikamander2   (Talk)  at 18:52, 8 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep He was a candidate in a national election that received international coverage. Would we be here if he had run for POTUS? Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 21:49, 9 June 2021 (UTC)
