The result was delete. I don't see in the article that this athlete coached sportspeople who won Olympic awards or championships. If you want to work on this if Draft space, let me know. But it has to go through WP:AFC. Liz Read! Talk! 23:47, 20 January 2024 (UTC)

I was unable to find adequate coverage and any info on him winning anything. The SPORTSPERSON and NATH is questionable. With regards, Oleg Y. (talk) 18:37, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

- Keep Coverage is in Arabic, and there are references in English as well! Bilal is the coach of the Palestinian national athletics team, and represented Palestine in many international tournaments. It meets the criteria of notability.--— Osama Eid (talk) 19:53, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
- Could you please specify which criteria for notability, as outlined in our rules, it satisfies? With regards, Oleg Y. (talk) 17:14, 7 January 2024 (UTC)
- Delete. Fails WP:NATH. Zanahary (talk) 05:40, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
- Based on WP:NATH, there is a clause that says: Coaches who have coached many notable athletes, including at least one non-relay Olympic medalist, World champion, or senior World Record holder during the time of the athletes' notable accomplishments.
- Referring to the article, the Palestinian team, which was coached by Bilal, won the silver medal in the athletics delegation in Sharm El-Sheikh.
- He also "was the official coach of the Palestine Olympic track and field team." — Osama Eid (talk) 10:27, 13 January 2024 (UTC)

KeepThe article talks about a well-known sports figure in Palestine. He is the international coach of the Palestine Olympic Games and long track team. He won the gold medal in the Olympic Games tournaments in Sharm El-Sheikh, and he represents Palestine in international sports competitions.--— Osama Eid (talk) 12:40, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
- He is not well known. He has no proper coverage. There is no info on any medals. And he doesn't comply with the Wikipedia rules. With regards, Oleg Y. (talk) 21:53, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
- Striking duplicate !vote. What even is "the gold medal in the Olympic Games tournaments in Sharm El-Sheikh"? Geschichte (talk) 19:22, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
