 * Delete - Article fails WP:GNG and WP:BIO. I had to go through the Internet Archive to see what the CJH source said, and it looks like it was a staff bio for being part of a panel called The History of Genocide Initiative. It's not an independent source. The Profil.at piece absolutely is a reliable source, though it interviews both Muhamed Mešić and several other immigrants in Austria, specifically because they are immigrants, not because Muhamed Mešić himself is specifically the focus. However, I would say that would contribute to notability as it ticks off all the right boxes on WP:GNG if only technically. Then there's this. It goes into detail about Muhamed Mešić knowing 58 languages and talks a little about learning different languages and accents and then just kind of cuts off with no context? It's supposedly a series of profiles of people on the street, but the whole point of it seems to be that they're random people being interviewed. I looked at a few other profiles in the same series and there was a piece about a woman whose grandmother was killed by Nazis, and another about a person who loves to cook the perfect steak. In my opinion they don't show notability for the subject since they're not interviewing someone because they're notable in any way, the whole point seems to be that they're interviewing random, every day people in this area to see what makes them interesting. That Muhamed Mešić just happens to have been one of the people interviewed does not show notability. Outside of biographical profiles of places he's associated with, that's really it as far as coverage of this person goes, and that's not enough to meet either WP:GNG or WP:BIO. - Aoidh (talk) 03:47, 1 July 2022 (UTC)
