Appears very PROMO. The entity he founded could perhaps be notable, this individual isn't. I find no articles about him that aren't PR pieces. Oaktree b (talk) 20:24, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There is an a page on ICANNWiki for him, he is mentioned on the Tedx site, The articles on G20, Society Society for International Development , Wellfound, Crunchbase don't look like PR pieces, and his he is verified on social networks 169.63.181.63 (talk) 06:45, 21 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Those are promotional biographies of him. Oaktree b (talk) 14:31, 21 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Global Solutions and Society for International Development don't offer promotional biographies Keepcalmail (talk) 06:43, 22 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

He is also mentioned in a article on aljazeera and devex, they never post promotional articles. 169.63.181.63 (talk) 06:51, 22 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

169...63: The page at ICANNWiki (which is, yes, a wiki) was created and primarily edited by a user named NasratKhalid. Blurbs for speaking engagements are notoriously fluffy, generally provided by the speaker themselves. The G20 sources used don't do much to establish notability, as one is an article he submitted to the Global Solutions Initiative. Our article currently says, He has established four organizations, including ITRCA,[6] and has been recognized by the G20, where the ref [6] is the aforementioned wiki article he apparently wrote himself, the four organisations he's said to have established are unnamed and apparently non-notable, and the "recognized" bit is unsupported by any source. It's not even clear what form this recognition is supposed to have taken.

The current last sentence is His passion for technology and commitment to serving his country and fellow Afghans have made him a respected figure in the international development community. This is not only unsourced but pure promo blather.

Apparently he wrote a chapter in a book, Securitizing Youth. Haven't found any reviews for that work, though.

The only thing that does anything for me is the Rice award (which, I must admit, was not well-known to me before this). Unfortunately, I can't find that anybody (except him and SID) has written about him winning the award, so I can't see how significant it is. And that's about all I've found, that's not really about Aseel. For that reason, I would say delete, as I don't see much that can be merged to Aseel (website). — JohnFromPinckney (talk / edits) 08:39, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What improvements can be done so that it doesn't look PROMO?? Keepcalmail (talk) 15:59, 22 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have done a lot of changes, now it doesn't appear promotional, added proper headings with proper citations from reliable sources. Keepcalmail (talk) 06:37, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

An article bout them in the New York Times, Le Monde or other reputable newspaper is what's needed for non-notable individuals to become notable here. Oaktree b (talk) 14:35, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Aseel (website). Khalid does not appear notable other than as the founder of this website. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 11:17, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Can you help me move to to my drafts, before it gets deleted? Keepcalmail (talk) 09:45, 29 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
