• Delete: I could not find sufficient coverage to justify notability per WP:NAUTHOR. Cocobb8 (💬 talk • ✏️ contribs) 20:21, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Keep per newly found sources Cocobb8 (💬 talk • ✏️ contribs) 11:46, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep additional sources at 1 and 2 as well as numerous Google book references such as 3 (pp.21-22). Mccapra (talk) 21:16, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

• Keep. In addition to the sources already mentioned, which satisfy general notability, Zitouni's work has also been the subject of peer-reviewed academic research. Cortador (talk) 20:36, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep I believe the book and the paper listed above show that NAUTHOR 1, 3, and 4c have been met, in addition to the GNG. Any one of these would be enough to keep. The full text of the paper Cortador cited can be found here. Toadspike [Talk] 08:43, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  @Cocobb8 In light of the sources provided by Mccapra and Cortador, would you consider there to be sufficient coverage to justify notability per WP:NAUTHOR? Toadspike [Talk] 08:48, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  I've just searched Google Scholar for "Ahmed Zitouni" and found this, which looks like an old review of one of his novels, and this book, which has a whole chapter on three authors, one of whom is Zitouni, starting on page 131. Toadspike [Talk] 08:54, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Toadspike, I would, yes! Thanks for the ping, not sure how I had missed those sources! Cocobb8 (💬 talk • ✏️ contribs) 11:46, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
