 * Comment - I'd like to point out that this artist scores around a hundred hits on Google, so what exactly does the nominator mean by non-existant artist? (That being said, not being listed on Google doesn't mean you don't exist either.) — Hillel 06:27, 26 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete Obviously not Notabl
 * Weak keep - not a great article, but the nominator somehow knew how to execute three syntactically perfect AfD's in a row as his or her first edits on Wikipedia, which suggests the nominator has been here before and might be doing this from ulterior motives. Ruby 05:28, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I have been here before to understand how wikipedia works, but first time I do any editting and that is why I registered. And by the way, thanks for calling My First attempts "perfect" ... Obviously you are not so objective, you are voting to keep a lousy article based on the fact that for some reason you don't like me JaManna 07:04, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete CSD A7. The article asserts, in toto: guy has a bachelor's degree and paints in watercolor.  This isn't notable. -Ikkyu2 06:16, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as non-notable.--Ezeu 07:16, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Don't judge whether to keep or delete based on the nominator's edit history.  Judge on the article's merits.  This is obvious vanity.  Starry Eyes  09:11, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. I suspect a bad-faith nomination. Nominator Jamanna's only activity on Wikipedia has been to nominate several Egyptian artists for deletion today, and some of the other ones seemed entirely unfounded, bordering on the speedy keep. Until shown otherwise, I would recommend to give the benefit of the doubt to the article, not to the nomination. Lukas (T. 09:50, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Well I am just someone who knows about the Art Scene in Egypt, and this Artist is simply not notable at all. The other two I nominated are more notable, but Mostafa Abdelmoati is not notable enough, and Rabab Nemr, in addition to not being of enough significance to the Art World has a rather weak page.
