I'm renominating this with the exact same nomination information so hopefully we can get a consensus or else I may simply PROD it and, if he's notable, it can be restarted later. SwisterTwister  talk  05:33, 1 October 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep : IMDB was used as an indication of Rafiq Subaie not being notable but there are more than 200 state on this earth and an actor doesnt have to be notable in the English speaking world to be actually notable.
 * He is a Syrian actor and if someone want more information about him then he really needs to look in sources written in Arabic.
 * This is an interview with Rafiq Subaie in SKY News where he is described as on of the founders of Syria's acting movement.
 * This is his entry on MBC one of the Arabic-speaking world biggest networks.
 * This is an interview with As-Safir, where he is described as the artist of the people which is what Syrians call him.
 * This is the site of the Syrian Arab News Agency (Syria's official news agency). It is talking about Rafiq Subaie in English.
 * This is a book by professor Rebecca Joubin, an assistant professor and chair of Arab studies at Davidson College. She is explaining Subaie's role in Syria's early TV (In English).
 * This is a copy from an article that appeared in Gulf News (in English). I quote : (Visibly absent were big names and pioneers of Syrian cinema like Duraid Lahham, Rafiq Sibayi, and Muna Wassef).--Attar-Aram syria (talk) 18:41, 14 October 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete - nothing but brief mentions. No independent, in-depth coverage to show notability.  Onel 5969  TT me 13:49, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Maybe this ? Discover-Syria is an independent site and one of the biggest in Syria. Yes, he is not notable in the US or the English-speaking world and will never be and doe not need to be. Hope that the admin who will decide can read Arabic.
 * This is the site of the Syrian Ministry of Culture and its talking about the honoring of Rafiq by the Syrian president with the highest level of the Order of Civil Merit
 * How much notable does he need to be ? if all this doesnt make him notable (being known by 320 million Arabic speaker) then what does ? Wikipedia has hundreds of articles about 10 class American actors who probably made a cameo or two in some unknown movie !!.--Attar-Aram syria (talk) 19:50, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
