Another unremarkable Arabic novel. Part of a recent slough of these. References do not demonstrate notability. A loose necktie (talk) 18:08, 19 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Literature and Egypt. Shellwood (talk) 18:58, 19 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Unfortunately the article creator seems not to understand the sourcing requirements to demonstrate notability. Nevertheless the ar.wiki article has one full length review of the novel here. In addition I found other independent reviews here and here and additional coverage here so notability is demonstrated. Mccapra (talk) 20:22, 19 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Short-listed for 2013 International Prize for Arabic Fiction. Regards, --Goldsztajn (talk) 10:14, 20 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per immediately above. @Goldsztajn: Is the award called the Booker Prize, or is that a translation issue? —C.Fred (talk) 17:58, 21 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @C.Fred: "Although the Prize is often referred to as the ‘Arabic Booker’, this is not instigated nor endorsed at all by IPAF or the Booker Prize Foundation which are two completely separate, independent organisations. IPAF is not in any way connected with The Booker Prize." Regards, Goldsztajn (talk) 21:30, 21 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment, part of a recent slough of cookiecutter nominations, any sort of WP:BEFORE would have revealed the wikinotability of this book, as editors above have shown this is a keep. Coolabahapple (talk) 07:21, 24 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
