Mohammed Bin Thabit Al Kuwaity

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

No notability established. Part of a rich and royal family, but no notability established in his own right. Oscarthecat (talk) 10:59, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - No sources found and therefore fails WP:BIO. Notability is not inherited nor does it come from being rich (unless ridiculously so). I only searched for English sources however, so if non-English sources are found, I will modify my vote. D ARTH P ANDA duel 13:01, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete Lacks reliable sources and doesnt meet required notability. BritishWatcher (talk) 14:46, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Heir to the throne. This is one of the circumstances where notability is intrinsically inherited, because that's how royal families work. It does absolutely need some documentation, if only to prove that fact. DGG (talk) 19:50, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
 * The article certainly doesn't make that clear, "relative to Al Nahyan ruling family.", "he was the heir to the throne,". If this can be cleared up, then as you say, notability will be clear. --Oscarthecat (talk) 20:18, 24 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep Notability established the usual way. ChildofMidnight (talk) 22:44, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Indeed the claims in the article are notable, but there is no evidence for their veracity. ChildofMidnight (talk) 19:24, 26 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete unless sources can be offered to establish notability "the usual way". He certainly is (and it seems unlikely that he was) not "heir to the throne" in the sub-national unit, Abu Dhabi, or the country, United Arab Emirates - in both cases that is Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed. There may be a transliteration issue here, but Google comes up with absolutely nothing when searching in the Latin alphabet, which, if the subject were notable, would be very unlikely. Also, if the subject is listening, I would advise him against calling his restaurant the Taj Mahal Palace - that sounds like the sort of establishment you find on every British high street where people go after pub closing time and dare each other to eat the hottest dish on the menu.
