Promotional article on a person of questionable notability - definite COI at present. Google news search on Fadi Malkawi shows zero results. Standard search on same shows many primary sources and social media, but little significant coverage from indep endent reliable sources. MikeWazowski (talk) 14:26, 15 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete The refs found are on chess tournaments, not on this chess player particularly. This chess player has not had major success in major tournaments, and he has not reached a notable ranking or gained notable chess title like Grandmaster. SyG (talk) 11:32, 16 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete With no significant coverage, there's nothing available to use to write an article. Dori ☾Talk ☯ Contribs☽ 23:56, 16 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - A Fadi Malkawi biography topic does not meet WP:GNG. Chess play of Fadi Malkawi may meet WP:GNG from the news articles cited above and others available. However, Widipedia doesn't normally have activity coverage of such a topic unless it is a WP:SPINOUT article. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 23:09, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
