(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL) No significant coverage for this person, only minor mentions. Does not appear to be notable per WP:Notability. Makeandtoss (talk) 20:33, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Disagree there is wide coverage in both Arab and English media and i added some resources now. He has many points that support his notability: first he is who recruited zarqawi! Second he was manager of Maktab al-Khidamat in jordan. Third is that two of his sons were with isis. I think he is notable in this regard--مصعب (talk) 21:57, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete- article mostly discusses why people he knows are notable or what they have been up to, not what the article's topic has done to be notable. Can't find good sourcing, and first two hits on google are to this WP article. Articles cited don't even mention him.

Delete - Notability is not inherited to notable people the subject knows or the organization he works for. The insignificant coverage that is left out there leads me to believe this is a clear-cut failure of GNG.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 14:51, 7 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Non notable delete Heshiv (talk) 12:59, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Heshiv, TheGracefulSlick, and El cid, el campeador: i added some new resources showing notability (his activity was related to 2016 Al-Karak attack). What's your opinion now?--مصعب (talk) 21:18, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@مصعب: The article talks about Qutayba, his son. His father is still briefly mentioned and not discussed at length. Makeandtoss (talk) 12:52, 11 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

no. I added new 3 resources. There's 2 paragraphs talking about him and not just mentioned briefly--مصعب (talk) 13:55, 11 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep - The article is a bit link-bombed, but there does seem to be significant, independent, in-depth coverage, such as here and here. The Arabic language version of the article, [1], provides a bit more detail, giving a good impression of the encyclopedic nature of the subject. I !vote weak because I'm not familiar enough with the subject to be sure about this last point, if being a recruiter and unofficial spiritual leader of a group of unclear size is really very encyclopedic.
