Prince Mohammad bin Faisal bin Saud

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

WP:VSCA, the only claim to notability is he is apparently a minor member of the (huge) Saudi royal family. Dougie WII 17:43, 11 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Pardon my ignorance, but is this the same person as Mohammad al Faisal al Saud? If so, then he's apparently also a relatively important person in finance.   (p. 11) -  Revolving Bugbear  18:17, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
 * No, this is someone else. --Dougie WII 18:46, 11 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete, unlikely to meet WP:BIO and no references. Stifle (talk) 18:17, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. A notable subject as president of one of the top footbal clubs in Saudi Arabia, but the article obviously need major clean-up. Anyone in a similar position in a western country would not be proposed for deletion. Avoid systemic bias. Phil Bridger 20:23, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep. Yuk, what a poorly composed article. It screams for a re-write. However, the subject may be noteable, per Phil. Majoreditor 17:35, 12 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, W.marsh 21:44, 17 November 2007 (UTC)


 * It would be good to get actual sources here before closing this. --W.marsh 21:44, 17 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Weak Keep The guy is part of the Saudi royal family, and as he is president of a well known Saudi football club, is notable. But the article itself is dire, and needs rewritten. scope_creep (talk) 22:04, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep on the basis of football club presidency. For the record, though, there are over 500 Saudi princes now, and they are all princes from the day they're born, but only a small fraction of them have anything more substantial than an anonymous playboy lifestyle. --Dhartung | Talk 22:15, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete no sources, no evidence this person is really a prince, or even exists. "Prince Mohammad bin Faisal bin Saud" gets 3 Google hits all wiki or mirrors. RMHED (talk) 00:11, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete -- Saudi royal family is so large that it does not in itself convey notability. Merge a small bio into the article for the Saudi football club he's president of.  -- Myke Cuthbert (talk) 00:27, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per Myke Cuthbert (again: there are hundreds of Saudi princes) --- also, this page could confuse WP readers looking for other "* bin Saud" articles.  --- tqbf  04:15, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete (for now) Lacking in solid sourcing and evidence, as mentioned above. Could always be remade later with sources by someone interested. • Lawrence Cohen  06:36, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete unless reliable sources to prove notability are provided -- ¿Amar៛ Talk to me / My edits 09:45, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
