I'm sending this back to AFD since all 4 !voters in the previous AFD have been blocked as spammers or undisclosed paid editors. The rationale from before was:
"Article lacks credible citations, and also has a stream of blocked users in the history. It would seem elements of conflict of interest."

- Comment: same puff piece appeared at arWP ar:إبراهيم الهیدوس at the same time. Noting that being mentioned in the article as the spokesperson does not give you notability. I have asked an admin at arWP to look at their article to seek their opinion. To me that whole thing has a horrid smell to it. — billinghurst sDrewth 05:29, 18 October 2017 (UTC)
- Comment - looks like he has notability in Qatar for Fursan, a style brand more than other works. On social media he has 142k followers on Twitter and Instagram so that may be the source of the socks. Randomeditor1000 (talk) 18:45, 17 October 2017 (UTC)

Weak keep. Most of the cited sources focus more on Qatar Foundation. I found this Huffington Post interview that can be used to bring the focus on the article's subject. If other sources could be found, the chances of this article being kept increases. Alexius08 (talk) 01:59, 18 October 2017 (UTC)- @Alexius08: That interview is not a reliable source: see "Copywriter & Sales Strategist, Webbee Inc." and "This post is hosted on the Huffington Post's Contributor platform. Contributors control their own work and post freely to our site.". SmartSE (talk) 07:38, 18 October 2017 (UTC)

- Delete Fails WP:SIGCOV and being a MEP projects engineer is not notable. His brand Fursan is not notable at this point.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 14:51, 18 October 2017 (UTC)

- KEEP While exploring Google against his name, I found quite notable pages are mentioning him. There is no need to explain the HuffPost notability which has his interview[1]. Qatar Foundation for Science, Education and Community Development is one of the largest non-profit organization in Qatar, founded in 1995 has shown his notability in [2][3]. HEC Paris has mentioned him in their press relase[4].
