Doesn't appear to pass GNG. The awards that the subject has won aren't either notable ones. Fails WP:NAUTHOR. The article appears promotional as well but AfD isn't cleanup. Still what y'all think? ─ The Aafī on Mobile ^{^(talk)} 00:57, 29 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: per nom, fails WP:NACTOR, the awards are non notables ones CommanderWaterford (talk) 10:12, 29 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. There are sources in Arabic which I will add in the next few days. Also thanks to the wonders of the great North African stress shift in Arabic he appears in French sources as “ ‏Fredj Lahouar”, which brings up plenty more. Also the Abu Qasim Ash-Shabbi prize is notable. Mccapra (talk) 10:21, 29 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment -User:Mccapra - What is the great North Africa stress shift? Does that result in North African Arabic names being both pronounced differently than Arabian Peninsula Arabic names and then transliterated differently? Robert McClenon (talk) 15:00, 1 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yes that’s right. The stress tends to shift to the final syllable of the word and the initial syllables often become a consonant cluster. In addition because the writer is Tunisian his name is almost always transliterated following French norms rather than the standard modern Arabic to English system. Hence a search on the name as spelled in the title produces pretty much nothing. Mccapra (talk) 15:47, 1 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@TheAafi:@CommanderWaterford:@Robert McClenon: would you mind looking again now please? I’ve added sources showing sustained literary and scholarly interest in the subject for more than twenty years. Thanks Mccapra (talk) 12:32, 1 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Well Mccapra, this seems fine for me now. Thanks. But I'd wait for a procedural close.─ The Aafī on Mobile ^{^(talk)} 12:38, 1 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yup no rush thanks. Mccapra (talk) 12:39, 1 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep - The work by User:Mccapra appears to pass the Heymann test. Robert McClenon (talk) 15:05, 1 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Looks okay to me, though I suspect a COI. Deb (talk) 19:06, 1 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I don’t know the article creator so don’t know if they have a COI or not, but I’d never heard of the guy until the article was created and a few of us had a bit of back and forth about whether it should go to PROD or not. I definitely don’t have a COI. Mccapra (talk) 19:36, 1 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
