Talk:Ali al-Ahmed

Ali Al-Ahmed frequently is quoted in media reports and is a guest on TV and radio programs. He is one of the most vocal and knowledgeable commentators on Middle Eastern issues available in the West. There should be a place for people to go and get a detailed biography of him after seeing him in the media if they choose.

Beyond giving people more information about him, this page will detail the story of a citizen of a repressive country who has sought to improve his country and suffered hardships along with his family because of his efforts.

A lot of the information comes from conversations with Mr. Al-Ahmed and the information is not available anywhere else of which I am aware. Any advice on the how to document this information so that it meets Wikipedia standards would be appreciated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Saudi Bios (talk • contribs)

Yeah, I've been looking around a little bit as well to see if I could help the article. I don't understand why you put up a hangon tag, though; no one's trying to delete the article. GlassCobra 14:03, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you GlassCobra,

When I logged on this morning to check the page there was a message at the top saying that someone had requested the "speedy deletion" of this page because they did not see a reason for it to be here. The message also said by putting the hangon tag I could then make an argument for its existence. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Saudi Bios (talk • contribs) 14:20, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
