I do not think that the format of the article or character is eligible for deletion because it has been nominated for awards and all books have been published in Europe. I hope the administration is impartial in the decision. The character Alaa Sarhan owns foreign sources and an article in the French-language Wikipedia encyclopedia. Is the decision to delete it a racist decision against Arabs, or what? Preceding unsigned comment left by ساندرا بولقاش, moved to present position by Pbritti
~~There is no article in the French language wikipedia for him.~~ There is an article for him in Fr wiki, also flagged for deletion. Stop throwing around racist accusations. French arabs are a major part of the francophone world. Oaktree b (talk) 18:40, 23 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete No sourcing find for this person. Not sure what sourcing we're using as notability, I can't find anything. The Fr wiki template searches the BnF (nothing turns up), Persee (nothing turns up) and other sites. If this person was this well-known, I'd expect something in French-African sources. Another drapeau rouge red flag. Zut alors! Oaktree b (talk) 18:40, 23 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You can do the right thing in the article that I published. I will leave the encyclopedia because I felt that it was difficult to learn. Thank you and I apologize. Kind regards — Preceding unsigned comment added by ساندرا بولقاش (talk • contribs) 22:09, 23 July 2023 (UTC) I was hoping to learn in the encyclopedia and gain skills in how to publish about famous people of note, but I get frustrated when the article is deleted, which I am tired of coordinating and bringing links and sources related to the character. I repeat my apologies for the misunderstanding that has reached you from me. Goodbye, thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ساندرا بولقاش (talk • contribs) 22:11, 23 July 2023 (UTC) I was waiting for help in coordinating my article and preserving its existence, and I appreciate the enormous pressure on you as the encyclopedia administration, but I do not agree to be the reason for sabotaging an ancient encyclopedia, and for that I will withdraw, and I am sorry for my anger in the morning, and I apologize — Preceding unsigned comment added by ساندرا بولقاش (talk • contribs) 22:14, 23 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - is anyone able to analyse the sources in the article? I'm no expert on Arabic sources and reliability but, on first glance, they don't seem too bad to me. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 20:01, 24 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Sources in the Fr wiki article that I can understand are IMdB and a non RS website. I've linked both articles now so we can compare sources. Oaktree b (talk) 20:24, 24 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
"Les sources ne montrent pas qu'il aurait reçu des prix. Notoriété à vérifier sérieusement. Canular ?" The sources do not indicate that he's won prizes. Notoriety needs serious verification. Hoax/prank? was the reason given in the Fr wiki deletion discussion. I'm going to say it's not notable here either. They tag it and if it doesn't get updated, it gets auto deleted after a year that it's been tagged, which is different than what we use here. Oaktree b (talk) 20:26, 24 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your French article seems to indicate the sources are untruthful about the awards won and that this is a hoax. Oaktree b (talk) 20:29, 24 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

that some editors want to verify the Arabic sources. I will ask you for help in the matter, the names of the newspapers that talk about Alaa Sarhan, I can provide links to them, and they all have articles in Wikipedia and their pages on the platforms are documented with the blue badge, and they are official printed newspapers also today. I have added the citation of some sources and newspapers such as the newspaper (غرب الاخبارية) affiliated to Saudi Arabia, as well as the Emirati Encyclopedia
