Spam. Non-notable group. New England Review Me!/Go Red Sox! 17:12, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Comment Sure reads like an advert, but in this case, I haven't a clue as to how to go about determining notability. I mean, is it a religious center or, as it appears to me, more of a business? In any case, the only source I can find is the group's own website, which is mostly in Arabic, even at the English link. And no, I don't read Arabic.
    • Delete Well, after digging a little more, I've convinced myself that notability is not established, certainly not outside Saudi Arabia. Also, if the advertising bits of the article were removed, little of value would remain, which makes it a borderline speedy candidate. —Travistalk 19:16, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
    • Weak delete I edited the article to remove advertising and for NPOV and formatting. There isn't much left. If an Arabic speaker can dig up some proper references, it might be worth keeping and expanding. (The article is better, but I've certainly made a mess of this AfD discussion. Sorry about that.) —Travistalk 19:40, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as it stands, but give it the full five days to run & don't snowball - it might be that an Arabic speaker will have more luck finding WP:RSs for this — iridescent (talk to me!) 19:27, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
