The one source here seems to be too closely connected with scouting to show that this leader is scouting is notable. Anyway, GNG requires multiple sources, so it is not met. We have previously determined that being awarded the Broonze Wolf is not something that automatically makes someone notable, but without that there is really no justification to having this article.

Keep There are now two sources. I think the problem is less to do with notability than all the best sources are in Arabic: https://www.google.com/search?q=%D8%B9%D9%84%D9%8A+%D8%AE%D9%84%D9%8A%D9%81%D8%A9+%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B2%D8%A7%D8%A6%D8%AF%D9%8A

The article does need expansion.--evrik ^(talk) 20:44, 4 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Bronze Wolf winner not automatically notable does not mean he's not notable - that's an error in logic. There are enough sources to pass WP:BASIC now, Atchom (talk) 01:48, 1 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Deletefor failing WP:GNG. Two current sources; one does not mention him, and the other is not independent. BilledMammal (talk) 02:20, 2 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Tough one. I can see WP:IMPACT here, and I'm willing to WP:AGF that it's not a hoax or anything. We have no WP:BLP concerns, and the subject lived long enough ago that it's impractical to expect any online news sources to cover that impact. There's "regional barriers" for a lot of editors because an editor would really most likely need to be in Libya to find offline sources. I'm going with Keep and I'm going to use the policy WP:IAR because it's the right thing to do.--Paul McDonald (talk) 15:21, 8 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
