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 draft reads like a directory entry, but Wikipedia is not a directory. This draft does not establish notability.

Re. your draft of Hamza El Moutadir

Copied across from my talk page:

I'm glad that you've registered as a user and created a draft article. Well done, and welcome to Wikipedia!

I see that you've submitted your draft for publication, and also that it's been declined four times now (on 6, 7, 10 and 11 March). This is because you have not been able to establish notability, especially WP:NAUTHOR, due to not being able to find sufficient notable, independent and reliable sources. It looks like you'll have to wait until you have some mainstream reviews; and (alas) such reviews may be hard to obtain since Hamza El Moutadir is a self-published author (using Lulu) and the mainstream media are reluctant to review such works. I've experienced similar difficulties as a self-published author, though the travel writer and author Tahir Shah (who has lived in Morocco) has pioneered self-pub and succeeded at this task.

I'm sorry that I can't be of more help right now. Just keep scouring the search results at Google and encourage Hamza El Moutadir to approach the media for reviews and articles about him. For example city, regional and national newspapers and magazines (they don't have to be written in English), or mainstream Moroccan news and cultural web sites.

Note that press releases and advertizing material (eg at Amazon) are not reliable sources.

Possible reliable source

Can you locate this 23 January 2020 article from the Daily Times (Pakistan)? All I can find is the instagram screenshot by Hamza El Moutadir. I can't find the article where it should be in the DT archives (page may shuffle down over time), though I note that the IG image says "e-paper" and I can't find anything there. The DT is bluelinked and looks like a reliable source.

Also, if I search for "John Degrass", it finds zero results, unlike other DT reporters. I left a comment asking for the URL of the article and for some reason Hamza El Moutadir deleted my comment. Esowteric+Talk 21:23, 11 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I have found another possible source by the National News in Arabic, here is link: https://ahdath.info/574683
