(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

A rather promotional article full of external links to the subject's work on YouTube (some of which I've trimmed). Examining the sources more closely, there's very little except for obviously recycled press releases (brief, similarly-worded articles announcing the release of a song). There are no claims to notability that I can see via, WP:NMUSICIAN, and I'm not convinced the sourcing is there for a WP:GNG pass. (Note if searching for sources that there is a notable Egyptian writer of the same name) GirthSummit _(blether) 10:27, 6 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Girth, Thanks for reviewing my first article Taha Hussain, It's nice to have someone as experienced as you give it a look and review it. All the noted points are valid. I am new to Wikipedia and want to learn more from you, Maybe i did overuse the article links and did not provide relevant references for the article. I'm currently managing Taha Hussain and i need to create his page on wikipedia. (will appreciate all the help i can get).

also please note: The egyption writer pointed out at the deletion discussion is spelled "Taha Hussein". Talalhshah (talk) 11:06, 6 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Talalhshah - thanks for pointing out the correct spelling of the Egyptian writer - his article was the first thing that came up when I Googled Taha Hussain, I overlooked the fact that the spellings are different. If you are managing the subject of this article, you need to make yourself familiar with our WP:COI guidelines and our WP:PAID policy, which forms part of the Terms of Use of Wikipedia, and which you appear to be in breach of. You are strongly discouraged from editing areas where you have a conflict of interest, and are required to make formal declaration of the conflict in one of the ways outlined at those links. Please read those pages, and make the necessary declarations, before editing further. You must not edit his page any further, even after you've made the declarations.

• @Talalhshah: Have publications (non-gossip newspapers, magazines, etc.) reviewed him, talked about his music, interviewed him, etc.? Can you provide us with links to these articles? feminist (talk) 02:47, 13 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete considering the non-response of the subject's supposed manager (who should be more aware of any coverage than anyone else) and the inability to find sources otherwise. feminist (talk) 10:11, 18 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment Buidhe I understand wanting to have a clear consensus, but in light of WP:NOQUORUM, do you really think that leaving this open for another week was necessary here? The only person who has indicated a desire to keep this article is its author, who clearly has a conflict of interest (they are the subject's manager) and who should therefore not have published this article in mainspace in the first place. I can understand Sandstein's original relist, given that feminist had asked a question which had not been addressed, but since they have now opined towards deletion I really don't think that a relist was necessary or beneficial here. I hope that in a week's time, anyone considering making a NAC will bear RELISTBIAS in mind. GirthSummit _(blether) 12:43, 23 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
