Rasheed bin Mohammad Altokhi

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Writer of questionable notability. No independent reliable references. Google search on "Rasheed bin Mohammad Altokhi" shows only 46 results, none from reliable sources. MikeWazowski (talk) 14:34, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete I googled all of the listed books and got nothing on any of them except this Wikipedia article. North8000 (talk) 15:11, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

'''of course you won't find any of them because first they are not published on web, and second all of those books were published in Arabic language & that's merely the translation for titles.. for example: the first book of UAE it's called in Arabic "دولة الامارات العربية المتحدة : التاريخ والتطور" and here a copy of it in th public library of Jordan university : http://hip.jopuls.org.jo/c/portal/layout?p_l_id=PUB.1010.1&p_p_id=search_WAR_fusion&p_p_action=1&p_p_state=normal&p_p_mode=view&p_p_col_id=column-1&p_p_col_pos=0&p_p_col_count=2&_search_WAR_fusion_action=navigate&_search_WAR_fusion_navigationData=search~%3D1~!TL~!1~!%D8%AF%D9%88%D9%84%D8%A9+%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A7%D9%85%D8%A7%D8%B1%D8%A7%D8%AA+%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B9%D8%B1%D8%A8%D9%8A%D8%A9+%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D8%AA%D8%AD%D8%AF%D8%A9+%3A+%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AA%D8%A7%D8%B1%D9%8A%D8%AE+%D9%88%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AA%D8%B7%D9%88%D8%B1%2F same thing for the rest of books, this is just a translation for the titles, I think I should add a notice about this in the article. الوقائع الدولية
 * I'm afraid you have missed the point. The idea is not that we need to find copies of the books published on the internet, but that we need to find substantial material written about them. That does not have to be on the internet either, but usually a notable contemporary author of notable books would be mentioned somewhere on the internet other than Wikipedia. However, I have also searched for the Arabic title that you have quoted. I got all of five hits: three blogs, a listing in a catalogue search page, and a mirror of Wikipedia's articles for deletion log, showing this page. It therefore looks as though the issue of Arabic titles against English translated titles is not relevant: whichever we search for, we don't find anything that indicates notability.

 * Delete. All the sources cited are either blogs or pages that seem to be affiliated to the subject of the article, or both. Two of them are by Rasheed bin Mohammad Altokhi, not about him, and the other two are actually two copies of the same text, so we have a total of one source about him, that one not being a third party source. Google searches produce nothing better. There is no sign of an independent reliable source anywhere. JamesBWatson (talk) 13:23, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
