Not notable in its own right, notability can't be inherited, which he can't inherit from his father or his family. Fails WP:GNG, WP:ANYBIO. Störm (talk) 17:07, 4 August 2019 (UTC)

- Delete - individual doesn't meet GNG - there are loads of mentions, and quotes, but the only proper coverage is in primary/non-independent coverage. Nosebagbear ( talk) 12:55, 5 August 2019 (UTC)
- Comment When nominating an article for Deletion, I don't see the need for the nominator to be making personal sweeping statements about the subject of the article. Does the subject article itself say that Samad Dawood expects to inherit notability from his father or family? Is this You Tube or an encyclopedia?

- The nominator didn't say that Samad himself expected to inherit notability (I mean, he presumably didn't make the article, nor knows about this deletion discussion), but ruling out ways people frequently think notability is established is a beneficial exercise, having seen thoughts of that type in prior discussions.

- OK, let's focus on the factual part of the article and not give the impression of being personal here on this Discussion Forum. MelvinHans ( talk) 21:09, 5 August 2019 (UTC)
- Delete - Italy infamously appoints "honorary consuls" in many moderate-sized cities. I once rented from the honorary counsel of Italy to Albany, New York (who was, by the way, a literal fascist). Does that make my late landlord notable? No, and neither is this guy. By the way, there's no such thing as a " third generation entrepreneur". I don't see how any of that makes him notable in any way. Bearian ( talk) 18:34, 6 August 2019 (UTC)
