Film director I can't find much notability for, he only has done short films it appears and none of them seem notable. Wgolf (talk) 20:58, 13 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment-I usually check to see if the articles were deleted before-looks like this one I didn't and he was voted as keep. Well, let's see if it remains the same this time. Wgolf (talk) 20:59, 13 March 2019 (UTC)

 * Comment. Does the Arabic-language Wikipedia have an article on him? If so, it might have useful references. Have you searched for the Arabic version of his name? Eastmain (talk • contribs) 21:14, 13 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment, I just checked it actually looks the same as this one almost. Except for a picture. Wgolf (talk) 21:20, 13 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. Looks like a somewhat notable director who meets WP:DIRECTOR. IMDb cites 4 films directed. See also comments above. &mdash; Stevey7788 (talk) 00:59, 14 March 2019 (UTC)
 * IMDB proves only that a film exists, not that it is notable, or that a film creator is notable.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:42, 17 March 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete Abu Saleh has made several short films, but there is no indication that nay of them was notable. The only coverage of him that I have found: "Oversized Coat, from Amman-based Palestinian director Nawras Abu Saleh. It looks at Palestinian life between 1987 and 2011, including the two intifadas (uprisings) against Israeli occupation.", "“Oversized Coat”. The 2013 film by Jordan-based Palestinian director Nawras Abu Saleh examines Palestinian life between 1987 and 2011, a period of failed peace efforts and two anti-Israeli uprisings." was shown  in Gaza in 2016.  Similar coverage of this showing in a new film venue in Gaza in several languages.  Also a one or two even briefer mentions of him in other contexts.  the one solid source is from  Anadolu Agency : Palestinian director wants to shoot movie in Jerusalem; 'I want to shoot a movie in Jerusalem when it is liberated,' says Nawras Abu Saleh, but it is about his political ideas, it does not support notability as a film creator.
