[edit] Abdulfattah Jandali

Abdulfattah Jandali (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Fails WP:BIO. Notable only for being the biological father of Steve Jobs and Mona Simpson. Sources are so scarce that the article was first assumed to be a hoax. Those that do exist mention him only in connection with Jobs or Simpson. His academic career does not seem to have been notable, and according to the Fortune article, he is now a "food and beverage director" at a Reno casino. Jfire (talk) 16:44, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

• Delete GoogleScholar turns up essentially nothing and GoogleBooks turns up two books by the subject that do not seem to have been cited by other sources. Fails WP:PROF and is not notable as an academic. The only other claim to notability is that he he Steve Job's father. that is not enough to justify having a separate WP article about him.

• delete per nom & Nsk92. fails WP:BIO & WP:PROF. Pete.Hurd (talk) 03:32, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
• Delete -- the GS hits are is MA and PhD thesis. Given the years, one wouldnt expect to find citations there, but I cant find any books in LC, WorldCat, or BL. Although the first name is capable of various forms, the last name is very rare. There's an assertion he was Chairman of Economics at AUB in the google result "Maingate Magazine Between 1951 and 1954, it was headed respectively by Abdul Fattah Jandali, late Elie Bouri, Thabet Mahayni, and finally Maurice Tabri. ..." http://wwwlb.aub.edu.lb/~webmgate/spring2007/online1.htm" , but I cannot find it in the cited article text.
