Sylvia El Nakkady

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Speedy declined on the grounds that the magazine she directs is notable, and indeed it gets a lot of ghits. But I am not able to find any sources about Ms. El Nakkady herself, in fact I was not even able to find any primary sources. Delete, and create an article on the magazine.

 * Waffle. I've found three different spellings for her name so far, none leading to solid sourcing, and two different spellings for the magazine. I suspect the problem is a lack of English-language coverage, and an inability to do a useful native language search. I'm not comfortable deleting a subject who's likely notable, but I'm uncomfortable about the idea of keeping a BLP that's so hard to source that we aren't even able to identify a standard transliteration of her name. I haven't even been able to find enough to write a decent stub about the magazine, so that this could be merged with the intent of spinning this back off if/when adequate coverage is found.

 * Agree with Hullaballoo Wolfowitz. I've added this to the lists of Egypt-related discussions and Middle East-related discussions to get more eyes on it. No opinion re the standard transliteration, given the fact that Muammar al-Gaddafi has over 30 different transliterations of his name, all equally accurate. (Edit to remove Middle East, as Egypt isn't included.) --NellieBly (talk) 23:52, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
