  • Strong keep Notable Berber leaderof Algerian Citizen's Union in complex internal politics of Algeria - see e.g. [1] Dlyons493 Talk 13:03, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
    • Comment I've added some background information to the article. Note that any sites that list famous Kabyles tend to include him. Also, there are 100 Ghits for the highly specific search [2]
      • Especially since no one has explained why i should care about Kabyles, i was disinclined to factor in Ghits, thinking they might be the local equivalent of Ghats (rather than what they are) [smile].
  • Del for now. It was i who tagged it as speedy (& maybe i need to raise my threshhold under A7). If you can't extract 5 words that are more convincing than the article & what you've said from your BBC report, i'm not going to consider going & reading it. There's been no indication of notability other than being arrested, and unless i am mistaken about the chaotic and enormously repressive internal politics of Algeria (where it's claimed rightly or wrongly that the country was saved from One man, one vote, one time) that would make enough Algerians notable as to overwhelm WP. I won't consider him notable if they kill him, if that and "notable IMO" is all that can be said abt him.

  • Strong keep, obviously. No assertion of notability? He's the leader of a significant protest movement. Pburka 01:53, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep per above. -- JJay 20:52, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
