Non notable biography of an illusionist - poorly sourced (several links are to his own site, now down, others are to commercial promotion) Carlossuarez46 (talk) 19:02, 10 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete: This is a badly written article which asserts that writing horror books and being fron Kuwait is in and of itself notable. It isn't. SpecialK(KoЯn flakes) 22:06, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment The article asserts that Rashed is the "first Kuwaiti writer to explore the Horror/Science Fiction genre." The founding-father of Kuwati science fiction is no small thing and indeed notable. The problem is it's such a huge claim, and the author is so young, I wonder if it's established fact or an off the cuff opinion. The source is solid, AlWati, a daily paper in the Middle East. The problem is I can't translate a PDF to determine who made the claim and under what context. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 02:05, 18 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
