The result was redirect to Doha Debates. I see a consensus to Redirect. But all of the content remains in the page history should the notability of his circumstances change. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 04:47, 28 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The article is essentially a short resume and the more "notable" items about him, such as Women for Women and his position with Doha Debates, already have their own articles and mention him. The existing sourcing includes a dead link, a one-sentence source, a single quote from him in an article, an article by him about Doha Debates, and two mini-bios on organization pages. Other sourcing I can find is along the same lines of mini-bios on websites of organizations he's worked for or did a talk with or involve him in some way and briefly mention him. Overall, there doesn't appear to be deep or very comprehensive sourcing about him in any quantity. Saucysalsa30 (talk) 04:45, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or redirect: The article text summarises the subject's past and current jobs, but without indicating grounds for individual biographical notability (e.g. by the WP:JOURNALIST criteria). A redirect to Doha Debates may be a reasonable WP:ATD. AllyD (talk) 13:55, 24 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Atallah is the editor-in-chief at Al Jazeera America since 2015 (USA Today), previously was the regional director for the Americas (Business Insider, 2014), and started as the bureau chief for the Americas in 2011 (Politico). Beccaynr (talk) 20:40, 25 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, thanks for these sources but one clarification, he isn't with Al Jazeera anymore according to a source on the article[1] and according to his LinkedIn for what it's worth he left in August 2017. A couple of those sources aren't what we want to use to demonstrate notability per WP:GNG/WP:NBIO (2 barely name drop him), but I don't think it is in contention he worked for Al Jazeera as of 2015.

The first source I linked to in my comment is the Al Jazeera America website and it says, "Amjad Atallah is the executive vice president for content (editor-in-chief) for Al Jazeera America." But his profile at the Women for Women International organization he co-founded refers to him as the "managing director of Doha Debates" and says he previously worked at Al Jazeera.

Delete or redirect in the present state. I also searched a bit for interesting sources, but wasn't successful.Paradise Chronicle (talk) 22:23, 27 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
