Keep I'm finding lots of sources. German public broadcaster ADR did a documentary piece on him. It hasn't just been the Facebook suspension that's been covered. Prominent and controversial filmmaker.FloridaArmy (talk) 02:30, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Would it be possible to add the sources so we can have a look? Domdeparis (talk) 11:19, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:TNT. The article is almost entirely unsourced original research and appears non neutral. For example, I found this passage in German press:

Imad Karim is allegedly a TV journalist - only for a very long time without TV releases. In the 90's he had been able to realize some productions for ARD stations. But that was a long time ago. He earns his living as a commercial filmmaker, which does not stop him from calling himself a "director" and "TV journalist". [1] (Not sure if this is a reliable source or not.)

I'm seeing some interviews with the subject, but nothing in depth about him. Not finding anything in Google Books. Without proper sourcing, this article is not viable. There may be a notable topic here somewhere (of which I'm not convinced), but this article ain't it. K.e.coffman (talk) 19:29, 21 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - trivial coverage. PhilKnight (talk) 01:34, 23 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
