 * Delete: Nothing but a documentation of the subject's unencyclopedic comings and goings. Ratzd&#39;mishukribo (talk) 03:01, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment - The two sources that come up Khaleej Times November 5, 2011 and Khaleej Times October 15, 2012 list his name as Suhail Abdul Latif Galadari, not Suhail Abdul Lateef Galadari. From this, his last name appears to be "Abdul Latif Galadari" and his first name is "Suhail". -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 07:46, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom, not notable, met celebrities. --  Wikipedical (talk) 07:50, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - The source material in the article and what I found above mostly state that Suhail greeted a celebrity or warmly greeted a celebrity. From this, there appears to be an inheritance dispute. He seems like a good person, but there is not enough biography source material from which to write a Wikipedia biography article on the Galadari topic per WP:GNG. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 08:01, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. Meeting celebrities doesn't make a person notable. Most of the mentions qualify as trivial. There's not enough coverage to meet the general notability guideline.-- xanchester  (t)  09:39, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. As per reasons above. In case people are wondering how this happened, since I floated this article and now am agreeing to delete it: I initially was directed to a page (via the COI noticeboard) which looked like a real articlespace article. The name was long. I didn't notice the word "User:" in front of article title. Accordingly, mistaking it for a real articlespace article, I trimmed it substantially since there were few reliable sources, trimming it practically to nothing. Then I felt bad for the guy, thinking that this was a real article (ie which had been around in Wikipedia for a while and passed muster) and then I revamped it to be acceptable. Finally, I noticed the word "user:" in front and realized what had happened. So I floated the new content into an article, restored the contributor's user page. After floating it, I wondered whether the subject qualified as meeting WP:GNG, and agree the subject is borderline -- but maybe the person's family is notable and deserves an article since it is a major player in Dubai(ian) business..--Tomwsulcer (talk) 12:30, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

Suhail Abdul Lateef Galadari is from one of the richest families in United Arab Emirates. They are part of the top business families in the region. Their father was one of the first pioneers of Hotel industry in the Emirates. This article should not be deleted as Khaleej Times is the prominent newspaper in the country and he is one of the most renowned personalities of the country. The decision to delete the article will not be in line with the essence of Wikipedia and would only create restrictions in promoting the right information. Therefore it is requested that your team is able to extract more information from the sources in United Arab Emirates about the above personality.

He is also the owner of Galadari Motors, exclusive agents for Mazda in United Arab Emirates. In addition, they are the first people who brought the InterContinental Group of Hotels, Hyatt Regency and were the former owners of Gulf News, the first English newspaper of United Arab Emirates. We are updating the content for Biography very shortly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.97.60.13 (talk) 15:45, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete He has met Bollywood celebrities... WP:BIO and all that. Perhaps the family or the companies are notable. The person certainly doesn't seem to be. Plus apprently his 'team' is editing the article now? § FreeRangeFrog 00:56, 17 November 2012 (UTC)
