 * Keep. The sources are reliable. --Renzoy16 &#124; Contact Me 14:20, 12 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. A lot of the sources are definitely not reliable - there are refs to YouTube, Izz's own sites, a blog, and to ReverbNation which is a social network, and one of the links to Gulf News either doesn't mention Izz or is no longer online.  However Gulf News and The Nation (Pakistani newspaper) are fairly reliable sources and this and this are legit, even if this is a bit short.  Notable as a businessman, maybe less so as a musician. --Colapeninsula (talk) 14:31, 12 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment. Sources too from Khaleej Times, and The National (Abu Dhabi) are reliable. Referring to a source coming from Gulf news, here is an updated archive link of the original (the link keeps changing as the website updates its articles so I choose to link the monthly list showing the title of the article instead). The youtube link especially of a compiled videos of news, I think that will be reliable since the news clips of video are true and reliable. Though all of them are not in english, all of them are clips that talks about Nofel Izz.--Renzoy16 &#124; Contact Me 09:53, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

 *  KEEP!  This article needs clean-up and I will help in fixing it. I believe the founder of Jobs in Dubai should be notable enough, may be not as a musician but as an entrepreneur; it could be both, so give it sometime, let us look for more verifiable sources. Thank you. —JOHNMOORofMOORLAND (talk) 10:51, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. Notable for Jobs in Dubai at the very least, several independently sourced articles there. Even if dubious about notability as artist, that does not mean the article should be deleted. Having an unsuccessful career as a singer does not make an otherwise notable person less notable. - Kenneaal (talk) 11:05, 18 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep: AFD is not clean up and the article is sourced with RS. -- lTopGunl (talk) 09:32, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
