Hamid Bin Ahmad Al-Rifaie
This article was PROD because "No sourced quotes." The tag was promptly removed without curing the defect. This is unacceptable in an article about a living person. The subject may also not be sufficiently notable. (I declined a speedy delete request because notability is asserted at Wikipedia, although the claim is undermined by being written like a résumé.) — Ningauble 18:37, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete, per nom. I also continue to doubt this person's notability.  The WP article was flagged with  but this was removed by an IP in Saudi Arabia that has not edited any other article.--Ole.Holm 19:34, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

 *  I Will be saved & fixed this article  (I will finish work 7 days ) . The reason for the importance of this man in the fields of dialogue, and I think it had a role to play in life. And Will Provide sources. Now I have at least 9 sources of books.FALCON-MAN 09:14, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Update: The corresponding Wikipedia article has been deleted as "blatant advertising, used only to promote someone or something." ~ Ningauble 20:24, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment The article now seems well sourced but we need to discuss the issue of notability.--Ole.Holm 21:16, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Not really so well sourced: All of the quotes are from his personal web site, and I find no indication that he is quoted by others. It can be difficult to assess notability for non-Anglophones on the web: zero GoogleNews hits for this person, and for his IIFD organization. All of the listed books (except one I could not find at GoogleBooks) are self-published by his IIFD organization or by WMC. As I said, "The subject may also not be sufficiently notable," and I see no evidence of quotability. ~ Ningauble 18:04, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
 * CommentYour words is not true ... Search Google for Prof. Hamid AL-Rifaie or International Islamic forum for dialogue (IIFD) and you will find many results from all the nations of the world .... 188.48.11.142 19:38, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment Google hits, yes, but not GoogleNews ones. I did not look closely enough at the sourced; Ningauble is right.--Ole.Holm 22:05, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment Not at all .. Ningauble is not on the right .. He said ((zero GoogleNews hits for this person, and for his IIFD organization)) and you say (Google hits, yes, but not GoogleNews ones) how is right ???? As for the books,  they exist as sources (file PDF )in the article  ... I hope to be neutral in our discussions, and let the intolerance .188.52.32.152 16:32, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment There are Google hits as you say. There are zero Googlenews hits as Ningauble says.  Self-published sources, while verifiable, may fail to meet our standards.--Ole.Holm 18:47, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
