Director and producers are not given an automatic free pass over WP:BIO just because they exist — their ability to qualify for Wikipedia articles is determined by criteria at WP:AUTHOR.. the subject has directed some short movies but none of them have a Wikipedia entry so I don't see their significance. Google Search doesn't produce any substantial information about the person except a self written profile on IMDb so apparently fails GNG as well. For what it's worth, no entry exists on Arabic WP.

 * there are little known about Saudi Cinema and its pioneers in wikipedia, while the global news are all over it.

 * Delete as noted, none of the sources either here, in the article or that I could find elsewhere give more than a sentence or two specifically on the subject. WP:AUTHOR would give a fairly vague answer, since his work wouldn't generally be deemed as well-known (film festivals rarely seems to correlate with being well-known, though clearly this may not be the case in Saudi Arabia). WP:ANYBIO "received a well-known and significant award" doesn't seem to grant him access. The source base is so minimal that combined with concerns in the given areas, there's no way he currently meets notability. If anyone can find a non-English source that can be accessed/translated that proves otherwise I'd happily change my vote. Nosebagbear (talk) 12:52, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
