Non-notable. I was unable to find any reliable sources that are directly about him, only passing mentions in news articles about the floods. He certainly fails WP:GNG and WP:SIGCOV. FatCat96 (talk) 02:24, 15 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment He is the mayor of a state capital city in Libya. Has anyone WP:BEFORED Libyan sources to see if there's anything there? If all we have is international flooding coverage he probably fails WP:GNG. TulsaPoliticsFan (talk) 21:26, 15 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, without prejudice against recreation if somebody can do better. As always, mayors (even mayors of capital cities) are not "inherently" notable just because they exist, and pass NPOL #2 only if they're the subject of sufficient reliable source coverage to enable us to write a substantial article about the mayor's political impact: specific things he did, specific projects he spearheaded, specific effects his leadership had on the development of the city, and on and so forth. But that's not what's on offer here: "got quoted in media during floods" is not sufficient in and of itself, and the sources aren't about him in any non-trivial way.

Comment: as the mayor of the city worst affected by one of the deadliest typhoons in recent history I thought that notable. I started the page because I thought it would be beneficial because Libya is so underrepresented on Wikipedia. I've also noticed that most "notable mayors" are from western countries because media coverage is more prevalent. Instead of deletion it should redirect back to Derna, Libya. - Moondragon21 (talk) 18:22, 16 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
