[edit] Mohammad bin Ali Al Abbar

• Inital vfd nomination: Is a banking executive in the UAE notable enough for an encyclopedic entry? This article has some NPOV issues that can be fixed and needs to be wikified, but is it even worth it for such a dubiously noteworthy person? Fernando Rizo 01:52, 27 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, unless there is something seriously wrong with this article that I can't figure out at the moment. NPOV issues aside, the subject appears to hold a number of positions of power or influence in Dubai and the UAE. Why would it make any difference if he is in the UAE or somewhere else?

  • BTW, the nomination wasn't included in the main daily vfd page, but I added it there now. Uppland 04:10, 27 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Just an aside, my criticism is that he's a banking executive, not that he's from the UAE. God knows if every American banking executive got an article on Wikipedia, they'd have to buy a new server. ;) Fernando Rizo 04:42, 27 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep article establishes notability. -- Jonel | Speak 04:49, 27 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep - because we'd keep an article on a Bush or Blair advisor who was VP of a bank, chair of a development group, and a member of a gov't advisory counsel. -- BD2412 ^talk June 28, 2005 03:29 (UTC)
• Delete bank executives arent inherently notable. JamesBurns 28 June 2005 04:43 (UTC)
• Keep, a la BD2412. Not just a banking executive. - Mustafaa 28 June 2005 08:03 (UTC)
• Keep or delete Warren Buffett, David Rockefeller, John J. McCloy and all the rest. I'm okay either way... Maybe merge all into a Notable capitalist pigs article? (just kidding... sort of). Unsinkable 28 June 2005 19:02 (UTC)
• Keep but cleanup a bit. Barneygumble 29 June 2005 21:30 (UTC)

• • Looks like the general concensus is going for keep, so I went ahead and did the wikification and cleanup myself. The crow is eaten, sir ;). Fernando Rizo 30 June 2005 00:16 (UTC)
