The Vanity/promotional biography which claims to be of an Omani royal, but the sources are blogs, promo sites and forums. Has WP:REFBOMBS of fake sources and WP:SPS. No source to prove why this person is notable. Can't find either. An IP had raised concerns on the talk page about the authenticity of this article. DBig Xrayᗙ 00:50, 10 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

KEEP This is clearly not a genuine request for deletion as these so called blogs are ISSN registered international newspapers and official government documentation. This user cites restricted comments and edits by a banned IP user as their sole reason. The most ridiculous case of trolling I've seen. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ameera Patel (talk • contribs) 01:04, 10 November 2018 (UTC) — Ameera Patel (talk • contribs) is a confirmed sock puppet of LewisChu (talk • contribs). – Struck above comment from blocked sock per WP:SOCKSTRIKE.

Instead of being called a troll [1], I would prefer to see some sources that prove this person is notable. Please provide the links that satisfy WP:SIGCOV from reliable sources--DBig Xrayᗙ 01:38, 10 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I am not sure if this person is notable. I was able to find this source which seems credible (but one is not enough) Alsahawat Times. -- Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 20:46, 12 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Willthacheerleader18 Thanks for your kind comment. the link you gave above says Alsahawat Times is owned by the subject Shamsaldin Qais Sulayman. So that site is not only dodgy but WP:SPS as well. --DBig Xrayᗙ 20:58, 12 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

CommentThere seems to be enough independent sources for this to be a genuine article, all be it not very well put together. I would suggest a clean up and re-write to improve impartiality instead as looking through the history of edits it appears to be fine up until a point when now blocked users started to add a mixture of clear promotional information and possible vandalism. Should no one be able to do so then I will volunteer to do some research into this and clean this article up so that it is more factual and non-bias. Agreed that references from publications owned by the subject regardless of how legitimate or official they may be will raise some concerns over impartiality. Yet I do see enough third party references to warrant proper research and clean up rather than deletion. Museumfan1983 (talk) 15:38, 13 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
