While I am unable to judge the merits of the Arabic language Wiki article, for our purposes, Google reveals no WP:RS indicating he meets our WP:GNG, from what I can determine. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 03:26, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ibrahim Elfiky is the first expert on NLP and self-development in the Arab world. Also, he's known in the West.--Salah Almhamdi (talk) 10:29, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• • Can we verify any of that? Shawn in Montreal (talk) 15:11, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • He is the founder of Ibrahim Efiky International Enterprises Inc. which consists of:
      • Canadian Training Center of Power Human Energy

        • But can you point to any WP:RS that indicates those companies/entities are notable? As you know, simply writing a book, creating companies, and calling oneself an authority are not enough, unfortunately. We always need to be able to verify, with sources not associated with the article subject. regards, Shawn in Montreal (talk) 19:44, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
          • He is also the founder of Neuro Conditioning Dynamics™ (NCD™) and of Power Human Energy™ (PHE™). ******http://mmahfouzcorp.blogspot.com/2008/10/dr-ibrahim-el-fiky.html

• FYI: «While I am unable to judge the merits of the Arabic language Wiki article...» The Arabic-language article contains essentially the same information as the English one but with even less sourcing. --Abanima (talk) 17:34, 11 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• In case I was not clear enough, I support deleting this article: given the absence of reliable sources independent of the subject person, I believe the subject lacks notability, and the article looks like original research and, probably, promotion. Besides, I failed to find any information on the web about University of Metaphysics of Los Angeles where he is said to have earned his PhD. --Abanima (talk) 17:10, 26 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
