Article at AFC

I took a look at the corrected source, and I am sorry, notability still can not be established. Let's take a look at both of your sources:

The interview can not be verified, and may in fact be considered original research, which is not permitted.
The book that you cite still can not be verified. I have extensive experience in finding books, and I simply can not establish it exists.

Also, you do not establish which information in the article is from which source...

So first, I am afraid you will not be able to use the interview as the source. A lot of editors would have a problem with it I think. Finally, you need to find established, reliable, third-party sources that can be verified by other editors, or the article may be deleted as soon as it is created. Since he was Egyptian, and if you know Arabic, I would recommend visiting the Arabic Wikipedia (their English welcome page is here), as someone there may be better able to assist you. Then once you have your information, or even an article written there, you can bring that over here...

I will say that I tried searching for him again. I am sorry, but I was only able to find one website that even mentioned his name, and I had to spell it Samy, not Sami. Unless you are able to find a lot more information than that, I just don't think the article will survive here.

Thank you for your interest, and please keep me posted!

Take care,
