The article has been created on both the French and Arabic Wikipedia by the same user (Cross-wiki), who appears to have a potential conflict of interest as they may be affiliated with the company or have a vested interest. They have uploaded a high-resolution picture of the journalist, the article itself seems to lack objective and comprehensive content about the journalist. Instead, the focus appears to be primarily on their nomination as the head of the channel, rather than providing a well-rounded sources about their career or accomplishments.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Relisting. I generally don't challenge opinions in an AFD discussion, but I don't think "no enough sources" is valid here. The sources might be passing mentions and not sufficient to establish GNG but there are quite a few present in this article. Relisting in hope of a more serious review of sources present in the article and others that might be present online.

Liz The sources in the article are duplicated, featuring the same articles multiple times for his nomination in I24. Additionally, the picture added has been directly taken from the channel and the same user upload it, Furthermore, in the French Wikipedia, he deliberately avoids disclosing whether he receives payment for these contributions or works there. It should be noted that the user has been creating articles about all the staff of I24 News.
