This page about a new center called Center for International Communication that launched two months ago by the Culture and Information Ministry in Saudia Arabia— Preceding unsigned comment added by SalehAhmedGha (talkcontribs)

@SalehAhmedGha: Hello. Is this a government agency? Are there independent reliable sources that indicate how this is notable as an organization? I would ask if you work for or represent this organization; certain Wikipedia policies may be applicable to you if you do. 331dot (talk) 18:15, 6 November 2017 (UTC)Reply

SalehAhmedGha (talk) 13:33, 9 November 2017 (UTC) The page is updated with two new independent reliable sources. The resources mentioned that the Minister of Culture and Information in Saudia Arabia launched the Center for International Communication. SalehAhmedGha (talk) 13:33, 9 November 2017 (UTC)Reply

@SalehAhmedGha: This article will need sources other than its own website and announcements of its creation in order to be on Wikipedia. Please answer my questions I pose above. Thanks 331dot (talk) 14:19, 9 November 2017 (UTC)Reply

The answer is No — Preceding unsigned comment added by SalehAhmedGha (talkcontribs) 08:24, 11 November 2017 (UTC)Reply

@SalehAhmedGha: Thanks. Any independent sources you can find would help immensely. 331dot (talk) 09:23, 11 November 2017 (UTC)Reply


I appreciate your support and advice, there are many other resources (in the English language) that mention the center as a source of information they publish, such as: News week [1] alarabiya [2] Stepfeed [3] Asharq Alawsat Newspapaer [4] Business wire website [5] and many other websites. Aljazeera [6]

Would it be good to add them to the page?

@SalehAhmedGha: What is needed are not sources that merely mention this organization, or just indicate that they are the source of some piece of information, but sources that discuss the organization itself. Please review the notability guidelines located at WP:ORG to learn more about what is needed. 331dot (talk) 09:49, 11 November 2017 (UTC)Reply


SalehAhmedGha (talk) This type of article you have mentioned are available in the Arabic language, I will prepare the Arabic page with these resources.

Please advice

@SalehAhmedGha: You may of course edit the Arabic Wikipedia, but you may use those sources here as well. Sources do not need to be in English as long as they are independent of the subject, reliable, and discuss the subject in depth. 331dot (talk) 10:35, 12 November 2017 (UTC)Reply
