This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Comment: Converting the earlier rejection into a decline. You can keep working on this but remember that you need to show that either he has enough significant coverage to meet WP:GNG, or that his poetry/books have enough coverage that at least two of them meet the guidelines at WP:NBOOK. If you can't find enough references to show he passes either of those guidelines, I'm afraid it's time to give up and try writing about someone else. asilvering (talk) 20:14, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Going by even the Arabic translations of some website references, the author does not seem notable. The submitter needs to clarify WP:COI, and how a certificate of this author is the submitter's "original work" which they have ignored to answer at TeaHouse.

- Comment: Hi, you were probably looking to make an internal link to a wikipedia article instead of reference, right? Full information at WP:LINK. The short version: highlight the words you want to link, then click the chain-link icon (top bar of Visual Editor window). asilvering (talk) 18:12, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
