It appears at first glance that most (if not all) of the references are reports written by the subject of the article, rather than independent published reliable sources talking about the subject. This may need further investigation by editors who can read the foreign language sources given as references. David Biddulph (talk) 00:17, 27 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

delete no independent in-depth coverage of the person. Staszek Lem (talk) 00:28, 27 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - After further examination of some of the refs I see that they are not written by the subject, so I withdraw the nomination. --David Biddulph (talk) 00:30, 27 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I was about to afd this article but sat too long on it and when did, saw an error that an afd tag is already present. I take over this nomination (since original is withdrawn). Delete this article for failing WP:JOURNALIST and WP:GNG. Anup [Talk] 03:07, 27 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - It fails WP:JOURNALIST and there has not been much written about this guy. If he does something in future that gets a lot of media attention and notability, then the article should stay but this has not happened. The Ninja5 Empire (Talk) 03:13, 27 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Even though the original nomination is withdrawn, WP:WITHDRAWN states that the discussion itself should continue if anyone has made any substantive comments. This discussion meets that criteria, so it will continue. I have no comment on the article itself or whether or not it should be deleted. — Gestrid (talk) 05:03, 27 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I find no in-depth coverage of this subject by independent reliable sources. No elements of WP:JOURNALIST satisfied. Gab4gab (talk) 13:18, 27 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - He is a well known journalist in the Middle East and has done several reports for his coverage inside Syria. In fact, many of the worldwide media channels have used his reports and the videos captured by his cameraman. Nour0928 (talk) 17:11, 27 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete the article is unencyclopedic, and reads like an editorial, not a wikipedia entry. Civlover (talk) 17:06, 28 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
