Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nabih Youssef

Nabih Youssef

Article is a resume (albeit a poorly-written one) for the subject that appears to have been written by the subject; violates WP:NOT. -- Gmatsuda (talk) 13:04, 25 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep. Although autobiographical articles are discouraged, Mr Youssef _does_ appear to pass WP:BIO as an award-winning engineer; the references seem to be genuine. Nothing that a bit of cleanup work won't remedy. Tevildo (talk) 13:12, 25 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - undoubtedly he is notable. However, my own personal feeling is that conflict of interest is insurmountable and irreparably taints the text created with that conflict present. - Richard Cavell (talk) 14:36, 25 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The current version of the article is neutral and if no one told me someone with a COI was involved I wouldn't have known. So this article is suitable for inclusion and not irreparably tainted. Besides, it would be silly to delete it because of COI only to recreate it when a user in good standing writes the same content. Who writes it shouldn't matter as long as the article is neutral and verifiably correct. - Mgm|^(talk) 15:27, 25 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, referenced and balanced stub at the moment. COI issue seems dealt with properly. --Soman (talk) 18:12, 25 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Notable career. and adequate article. We have repeated rejected the view that COI is a reason for rejection, but he can be mentioned here as a factor,for it does rightly give rise to a certain need for caution. DGG (talk) 03:18, 26 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep [[WP::COI]] does not explicitly ban a user from editing an article about themselves, just discourages it. Because all citations are properly dealt with, and he does seem to pass WP:BIO, the article should be kept.--Mattworld (talk to me) 07:22, 26 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
