Taha - The Arabic Type Classification System

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

An original academic article, which author indicated was previously presented as a conference paper (can be found on YouTube). Wikipedia is not a publisher of primary research and this also falls under WP:NOR.

PROD removed by page creator with comment in edit summary on personal talk page "I had removed any indication of publication or publisher." RA 0808 talkcontribs 13:58, 15 May 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete - I agree with . Original research. Lack of multiple sources needed to meet WP:GNG. --Rogerx2 (talk) 18:38, 15 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete - yes, it's clear this is indeed a primary research paper, genuine WP:OR. The removal of publication details and the list of citations only makes it bizarre. Totally unencyclopedic. Chiswick Chap (talk) 19:09, 15 May 2017 (UTC)
 * The article creator seems to be Hazem Taha Hussein himself, who's writing this to promote his new font. Indeed the article title makes the PROMO clear. I wonder if we shouldn't speedy this as unambiguous advertising but yes, delete per nom. There are also two accounts reported at Sockpuppet investigations/Hazem T. Hussein and I wonder if the creator of Hazem Taha Hussein, User:Kittycat3218 isn't Hussein as well. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 22:14, 15 May 2017 (UTC)
 * FYI, I'm speedying Hazem Taha Hussein as a massive ad for himself. WP:TNT clearly applies, imo. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 22:17, 15 May 2017 (UTC)
 * With the main autobio article speedied G11 I believe this spam article on his typeface can be as well. We'll see. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 11:33, 16 May 2017 (UTC)
