Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Hassan Ahmad Khalil[edit]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Draft:Hassan Ahmad Khalil, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

If this person was legitimately notable, there would be articles in actual newspapers, magazines, reputable websites and perhaps even books discussing him, what he has done, his projects, etc. If all you could find was LinkedIn and YouTube, both notoriously unreliable sources, we are forced to conclude that he is not in fact notable and that you are just trying to do promotion on his behalf. --Orange Mike | Talk 19:56, 18 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Orangemike, here are the top 3 newspaper outlets in Lebanon publishing his articles, https://www.al-akhbar.com/Author/671, https://www.aljoumhouria.com/ar/news/editor/521, https://www.annahar.com/author/9911-%D8%AD%D8%B3%D9%86-%D8%AE%D9%84%D9%8A%D9%84.

Regarding youtube, the interviews he did with the TV stations are published on these stations youtube pages, you can check the account/logo in the videos themselves. Should i resubmit a revised edition or do i not waste my time? Ziad.awwad (talk) 20:13, 18 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Again: to establish his notability, we do not need things he wrote or said, we need things said and written about him by somebody else. We don't care about what he wrote or what he said on the television about the Lebanese political situation, unless the Prime Minister of Lebanon (or Israel, or Japan) discussed what he said or wrote, and it was reported on the news. Do you understand the distinction I'm making? Even the most notable of TV stations or newspapers carries material from non-notable people, just to fill time and provide content. These links accomplish nothing. --Orange Mike | Talk 20:33, 18 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

To help with language barriers, you might want to post a notice at Wikipedia:Arabic-speaking Wikipedians' notice board (I don't know how active it is) or check with editors who are members of this category [[Category:User ar-5]], who have announced that they are fluent in Arabic. --Orange Mike | Talk 20:59, 18 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
