Comment Why is a search coming back with Abdullah Salluom Abdullah? Perhaps a mispelling? Like with the other AfD, I can't find much on the individual and nothing in-depth. If
WP:NPOL allows us to keep subjects that you can't find reliable biographical information on beyond two sentences then maybe there is an issue with the way NPOL is written. I digress, that's another issue for another time. Fails
WP:GNG,
WP:N,
WP:V and pretty much every other guideline surrounding notability but passes
WP:NPOL so I guess the subject gets a golden ticket. --

The correct spelling of the name is "عبد الله سلوم عبد الله". What you are seeing are alternative transcriptions into the Roman alphabet for which, as far as I am aware, there is no agreed standard from the Arabic script. I would guess that a transcription done by a French-speaker, quite likely for a Syrian subject, is likely to contain an "o".
