[edit] Burhan Beidas

This is a biography of a non-notable ad executive that also appears to have a WP:VAIN or WP:AUTO problem. The creator and primary modifier of the article is Mousabeidas. Mousabeidas has a contribution history that includes this page and talk pages where the user has asked how to rename this article and how to make sure it shows up in Google. The lack of wikification is also troubling, but that's an issue beyond this AfD if the article is somehow kept. Erechtheus 03:50, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete...the big picture greeting me certainly didn't give me the impression I was reading an encyclopedia. Article is worded like a corporate press release, no sources, definitely not Wikipedia material. Akradecki 05:01, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete If, perhaps, he had been interviewed by a major news source then he would be notable. As is, he is not. LinaMishima 06:13, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete a vanity article.--RMHED 12:57, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete somewhat oversize image to say the least but more importantly appears to suffer from being too fauning and lacks any sources -- Spartaz 12:59, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - the picture was so big it wouldn't even load in my browser. The rest of the article looked like a cut and paste from a press release -- and no bother to even format it to be readable. Jacks 13:07, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete: Non-notable. The only redeeming quality is the comically huge picture. Rohirok 16:18, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per above. --PresN 16:19, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, no evidence that subject meets WP:BIO. In fall 2006, Beidas ... set up BSB advertising, the region’s oldest advertising and marketing group... huh? --Kinu ^t/_c 18:59, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

• Keep: I had trouble working around the complicated nature of the wickepidia system. In the Middle East, Mr. Beidas is notable though it may not show it online. If I could get a little help from one of the people complaining, then the article would be more wickepidia friendly.
  • Reply what help do you need in particular? You can also use my Talk page to converse with me on this matter. It woul be great if we could improve the article to a level worthy of keeping, since wikipedia needs more Middle Eastern entries. Remember, you can sign your comments with ~~~~ !
