(talk) 16:39, 27 September 2008 (UTC) Is this individual actually important enough to have a page on Wikipedia? I just received a bunch of spam to several email addresses that claims it is from this person and references this page, among others. When I checked the article, I found a stub whose only actual purpose appears to be the URL link to his own web site.
I am not an expert on North Africa, so it's quite possible he might be an important figure. The spam was also in Arabic, which I don't read, so I don't know what it says. However, the spam doesn't appear to be a a 419 Advance Fee Fraud spam, which often appropriates the names of famous people (especially famous Africans) and includes links to legitimate web sites to establish credibility. The links in this spam *all* appear to go to pages that contain links to the same home page. And the article, according to this talk page, is "a member of 1 hidden category: * Category:Wikipedia noindex pages". That sounds extremely weird to me, as if a spammer were trying to prevent people from finding this page unless through the spam he sent.
So I wonder if this stub article was created by a spammer as a "redirector" to his own web site? If so, this article should be removed from Wikipedia. Sakeneko (talk) 15:28, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
