Is this "youngest journalist in the Kingdom of Morrocco" really notable? Indeed, there is no trace whatsoever that his work as a journalist is notable in any way. He is just "publicized" to be notable at present (being the youngest), but I am afraid that notability here is just temporary. Azurfrog (talk) 21:04, 14 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The only 'references' seem to be articles by this person, ie. they are not independent of the subject. ╟─Treasury Tag►CANUKUS─╢ 21:16, 14 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This article should be conserved. It was accepted at the first time because the administrators saw that it's in accordance with Wikipedia's policy --41.141.96.182 (talk) 21:54, 14 June 2011 (UTC) struck !vote; one !vote per customer please. —KuyaBriBri^Talk 14:04, 15 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Same contributor again, I fear... --Azurfrog (talk) 22:30, 14 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I don't know whether this article is claiming that the subject is the youngest journalist in Morocco, or just that he is publicized as being the youngest journalist in Morocco. If the former, how do we know that's true? Who was the previous recordholder as Morocco's youngest journalist before him? How do we know who counts as a journalist anyway? I don't think there are formal criteria one has to meet to qualify as a journalist. Why couldn't someone qualify just by writing for a school newspaper? And now that the subject is 18 years old, it seems likely that there are journalists younger than him in the country or there will be soon, and it's possible that a competing news agency could steal his thunder by hiring someone even younger than he was when he got started. If it turns out that he is notable as a journalist in Morocco and not only for his age, the article can be re-created with less emphasis on the "youngest" issue. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 00:37, 15 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

In my opinion, This article should be conserved as it was firstly accepted by the administrators — Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.141.112.249 (talk) 07:28, 15 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Conserve it. There is enough references. --41.141.112.249 (talk) 21:01, 15 June 2011 (UTC) Recommendation struck as duplicative. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 02:23, 16 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- This marks the third time that User:41.141.112.249 has submitted a recommendation in this discussion. And if he is the same person as User:41.141.96.182, then this is the fifth time. Please note that User:41.141.112.249 and User:41.141.96.182 are free to provide additional reasons why the article should be kept, but just repeating "Conserve it" is unlikely to influence the discussion significantly. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 02:23, 16 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
