 * Delete. I agree with the rationale really. Fails notability. In addition, canvassing from one user is a concern for this article and influenced me to express my view for deletion. John F. Lewis (talk) 21:39, 12 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Neutral Due to the canvassing associated with this article, I'm uncomfortable voting to keep it, since I wouldn't have known about this AFD if not for that. However, while it's not very well-written, and certainly has something of a promotional tone, I'm not so sure that it fails GNG: There are several significant claims to notability in the article. The main issue is with sourcing, but that's not a valid reason to delete an article. — PinkAmpers  &#38;  ( Je vous invite à me parler )  23:04, 12 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete - WP:TOOSOON applies here, but right now; 3 pages of Google results show no indication of notability. Closest we have is that Times of India has created a category for this person, but both articles aren't about him necessarily.  The article is also written like a promotion piece, but that can be fixed. Note: I was made aware of the deletion discussion by the canvassing on IRC.  However, the opinions stated are my own and do not reflect the canvassing. ~  Matthewrbowker  Make a comment! 16:14, 14 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Neutral. The article contains quite a few claims of significance that I believe in combination would confer general notability, but they aren't backed up by sources right now. I suggest userfying at User:Raed Maani/Saad Abudayeh until the sourcing in the article is more well-developed. Note: User:Raed Maani, the primary author and the user canvassing on IRC for the article's retention, is the subject's daughter. She has been advised that the article will not be "lost" and we explained the need to add sources to support the facts listed in the article. Dcoetzee 11:01, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Note. The user is continuing to canvas persistently on IRC for participation in this discussion and has been repeatedly kicked for it. Dcoetzee 13:39, 19 May 2013 (UTC)
