[edit] Omar Bin Sulayman

Non-notable businessman from Dubai. Fails WP:BIO. wikipediatrix 03:28, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete - 4 ghits for name. Also, one of the complications with this article is that the original author has way too little English proficiency to be writing this in the first place. I suspect that most of the sentences in the article are too mangled for us to decipher what the author's claims are. E.g., "he has his doctorate in Leadership from the United States". My Alt Account 04:05, 8 September 2006 (UTC) Keep and move to more common transliteration of Omar Bin Sulaiman. Thanks to Dlyons493 for figuring this out. My Alt Account 14:28, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - tried variations of the name, could not verify any of the facts. Perhaps if sourced so that it can be checked, but probably not even then from what I can make out. Seaphoto 05:08, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
• Weak delete, notability not clearly established. "Leadership" is presumably management. Gazpacho 07:44, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. If this is the user who commonly writes entries on Dubai businesses and business people, I would suggest we point them to the relevant language Wikipedia so he/she doesn't need to translate. - Mgm|^(talk) 10:24, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep He's the guv Dlyons493 Talk 10:48, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Governor of the "Dubai International Financial Centre", yes. So? wikipediatrix 12:23, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

• Keep per Dlyons493. The Dubai International Financial Centre is some kind of capital market established by the Gov't of Dubai. "The Dubai International Financial Centre was conceived by the Government of Dubai for the benefit of the UAE and the wider region as a whole. Its remit is to create a regional capital market, offering investors and issuers of capital world-class regulations and standards."[1] ("Remit?") He's apparently in charge of their stock exchange or equivalent. - Smerdis of Tlön 14:06, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

It's not their stock exchange. The Dubai stock exchange is known as Dubai International Financial Exchange (DIFX). [2] The DIFC seems to be just an international-banking bureaucracy. And even though its existence was government-mandated, it seems to be an independent organization. wikipediatrix 14:40, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

• Withdraw per My Alt Account. A Google search using the "Sulaiman" spelling changes the picture drastically. wikipediatrix 14:44, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Delete Even if you change the spelling of the name it still appears like a self projection.-- Marwatt 13:26, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep certain prominence. Mukadderat 00:08, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
• Comment. um, I withdrew my nomination a week ago, why is this AfD still here?? wikipediatrix 00:11, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
