Fadi Kiblawi

I am the subject of this article, and nominate it for deletion primarily because I am not sufficiently public for a Wikipedia entry. Furthermore, many assertions of the article are not attributed to reliable sources. Nominated by FKFK19. Steps two and three fixed by A Stop at Willoughby (talk) 05:06, 17 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The subject of the article has requested deletion; dubious notability anyway (last AfD was closed as "no consensus"). Per WP:BLPDEL, "if...the subject has requested deletion...this is addressed at xFD rather than by summary deletion." A Stop at Willoughby (talk) 05:11, 17 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Previous AFD, barely 60 days ago, could have been closed as "keep", and little has changed. Note that the nominator/subject at the time he made the nomination, also deleted content sourced to an appearance he made on CNN, which conflicts with the rationale about being "sufficiently public." Claims about "reliable sources" are not detailed, and could be addressed within the normal editing process; as noted in the original AFD, coverage exists in multiple major news publications.

Delete - there is not a single third party source discussing the subject of the article. The CNN source contains one line related to coverage of the subject (Fadi Kiblawi is co-founder of the pro-Palestinian student group called SAFE. That's short for Students Allied for Freedom and Equality.) The NYTimes source contains one line related to the subject (Kuwaiti-born Palestinian who went to high school in St. Louis and is among the peace group leaders.) The CSMonitor source contains two bits of information about the subject (was raised in the United States by Palestinian parents and , Fadi Kiblawi, a senior at the University of Michigan, spends his free time researching US companies that do business in Israel and whose stock is owned by his university.) The Baltimore Sun source is dead so I have no idea what that source did have if it did exist, There is simply not sufficient sourcing to continue to include this article. All of the sources that do could be used are focused on the organization and its efforts with barely a mention of Kiblawi. nableezy - 18:12, 17 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete highly significant and long-standing organisations/major web-sites like "Jews Against Zionism" aren't deemed worthy of an article - but Wikipedia sets out to finger and embarrass and blight the career of a student? Do editors have no shame? 86.159.247.180 (talk) 20:55, 20 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
