Moataz Abdel-Fattah moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Moataz Abdel-Fattah, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Mccapra (talk) 19:27, 24 September 2021 (UTC)

@Mccapra: Why did you not use WP:PROD or WP:AFD? The article has been on wikipedia for 9 years. I agree it needs additional references but kicking it into Draft space limbo seems peculiar. Dsp13 (talk) 10:38, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
