Nazih Fares

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Largely promotional article, that appears to fail WP:GNG and WP:AUTHOR (As it applies to being an editor to various VG websites). On the surface, the article made many claims for awards and the like, but the sources shows the awards to various companies, with Nazih Fares never being mentioned. There are no relevant hits from VG project's WP:VG/RS source search, and no real hits in Google News, etc. Of the four sources remaining in the article, two are primary, and one is behind a paywall and I cannot verify. I suspect it is about the organization, not Nazih, though. Full disclosure: Please see the history, I trimmed considerable amounts of refs that did not support the article from what I could see. -- ferret (talk) 14:19, 28 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Comment Note as well that the article's subject originally created this article, and it was CSD'd as G11. The user who recreated it appears to have restored the original content with minor copy editing, so another G11 may also be appropriate. This came to my attention after the article's subject added his site as a review on a video game article. -- ferret (talk) 14:23, 28 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete - per failing the WP:GNG (Sourcing is either rarely specifically about him, or passing mentions about him). WP:PROMOTION/WP:COI issues as well. While this variant of the article wasn't created by, he has historically used Wikipedia as a personal promotional tool, whether it being creating the initial article about himself as Ferret mentioned, to adding his own product reviews as a source on Wikipedia to getting his userpage deleted on promotional grounds, so I've got a suspicion he could be related to this article's iteration too. (This article's creator, Shashanksinghvi334, suspicously came out of a 2.5 year time of inactivity to come back and create this article last week.)
