Draft:Al-Shater Bossely Abdelgelil

Submission declined on 31 December 2024 by Bonadea (talk).

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.

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

Comment: This was an AI generated text without any sources other than links to Goodreads and websites where his books are available. Sources should verify the information in the text. I removed a lot of promotional fluff, leaving only plain claims which, however, are not supported by any sources. bonadea contributions talk 10:26, 31 December 2024 (UTC)
