**'''Comment''': I was canvassed by [[User:A. B.]] to return to this discussion. The Al Ain Times article is in the style of an advertorial, and the other cited page doesn't really say why he is notable either. [[WP:RS]] refers to mainstream newspapers, but neither of those cited have a circulation into six digits. I still say delete, although weaker than before.

Self-promoting autobiography of artist; asserts notability but cites no sources. Author has repeatedly reposted the deleted (and nearly identical) article UAEism. NawlinWiki 14:25, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- Note: This debate has been included in the list of Visual arts-related deletions. —David Eppstein 14:35, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- Delete - Unreferenced vanity page by/for non-notable artist. --DAJF 14:37, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- Delete - No significant coverage in reliable secondary sources. See WP:N. Subdolous 14:44, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- Delete per precedent.--Esprit15d 14:45, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- Weak keep Unreferenced, but I'm not sure that it's unverifiable, nor am I sure of notability, but those issues may be fixed. There may be some vanity and advertising here, but I don't think it's fully cruft. I'll see if I can dig up something reliable on the issue. Unfortunately I can only review English sources. Martijn Hoekstra 15:22, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- http://archive.gulfnews.com/indepth/dss2007/more_stories/10141297.html Gulfnews is pretty big
- http://www.alaintimesuae.com/pdf/aat_24_english_full.pdf not sure about the reliability of the Al Ain Times.
- That's all I could dig up. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Martijn Hoekstra (talk • contribs) 15:30, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- Delete unless citations from reliable sources are added to the page to meet verifiability requirement. Stifle (talk) 17:03, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

The Al Ain Times article is in the style of an advertorial, and the other cited page doesn't really say why he is notable either. WP:RS refers to mainstream newspapers, but neither of those cited have a circulation into six digits. I still say delete, although weaker than before. Stifle (talk) 18:36, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
- Keep -- the article about him in Gulf News clearly establishes notability as does the article in the Al Ain Times (circulation 60,000)[1] regardless of whether the subject has started the article himself. --A. B. (talk) 19:27, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
- Note: This debate has been included in the lists of Middle East-related deletions and Visual Arts-related deletions. --A. B. (talk) 19:34, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
- Delete Not notable (yet anyway). Johnbod 14:09, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
