Irrelevant blogger who hasn't been active in 10 years. JerrySa1 (talk) 22:32, 6 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep. While it's true that Alhamedi has not been active for some time he was a very early dissident blogger in Saudi Arabia, long before the Arab Spring or widespread social media use in those countries. He remains relevant for historical reasons - work doesn't need to be current or "fresh" to be notable, just notable. I can think of no good reason why this page should be deleted simply because of the passage of time. Mike (talk) 19:32, 8 November 2016 (UTC)
