Not notable enough. Minor foreign adviser whose name was mentioned among thousands others in WikiLeaks.--Kathovo talk 13:01, 30 March 2015 (UTC)

• Keep. Photo caption: "Ali Khedery standing behind George W Bush, with Nouri al Malaki"... op-ed piece in the NY Times... and WashPo too... significant mentions in multiple books... clearly had a lot of power. Wikileaks was a small part of his notability. Article in Foreign Policy... --Elvey^(t•c) 21:43, 30 March 2015 (UTC)

1. Standing behind Bush in a photograph is not a criterion for notability.
2. He clearly fails WP:AUTHOR, co-eding aryicles is obviously not a valid reason to establish notability as a notable author. He also fails WP:POLITICIAN for that matter.
3. Mention 1st is a brief description in one sentence among a long list of minor advisers, 2nd is somewhat a lengthy personal description, author also describes many others, hundreds of names are found in the index. 3rd Khedery is acknowledged for proofreading parts of the book.
4. Wikileaks are basically email correspondences, you can find tens of thousands of names in database, nothing special here.--Kathovo talk 06:48, 31 March 2015 (UTC)

• Keep Meets WP:GNG, numerous reliable news sources demonstrate notability. Thanks. Ism schism (talk) 01:44, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

I don't see that he receives significant media coverage.--Kathovo talk 10:24, 3 April 2015 (UTC)

That's because you have to make a small effort, like checking Google News. Thanks. Ism schism (talk) 11:08, 3 April 2015 (UTC)

No this is not media coverage of him. He is a media commentator, his articles and their mirrors results in X hits when googling his name. You will find also thousands of commentators[1][2] and journalists [3][4] whose name also appear quite often in news search results, this is simply no criteria for an entry in Wikipedia unless they accomplished something of note.--Kathovo talk 11:45, 3 April 2015 (UTC)
