The last AfD ended in "no consensus". The only policy-based keep !votes on the prior AfD were "weak keeps" on the basis that the article could be changed from a bio article to one on the company started by the subject, as the subject did not appear to be independently notable. In the three years since the last AfD, nothing has really changed. No one has shown any interest in changing this article to one about the company, and the subject remains non-notable (that is, he has not been the subject of multiple, independent, reliable sources). Therefore, it is time to re-assess whether there is now a consensus to delete. Singularity42 (talk) 03:08, 20 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The suggestion that an article on the company might be more sustainable than one on its founder was raised in the previous AfD; there is now an article on the company: Youssef Allam Group. AllyD (talk) 20:03, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete No evidence found that the subject meets the notability criteria for a biography. But, as was raised on the previous AfD, this position could change if suitable Arabic reliable sources are located. AllyD (talk) 20:07, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Youssef Allam Group, at least until such time as sufficient sources for a standalone article can be found. Dori ☾Talk ☯ Contribs☽ 00:56, 28 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete - One source is CPI Financial December 31, 2009. There isn't much else. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 15:30, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
