Fails to meet GNG. Subject does appear to have any claim of notability in the Sphere of Syrian politics other than very trivial mentions here and there in not so reliable/notable media. Being somewhat related to a famous Syrian Politician and sharing his last name (and first) is not and should not be a factor in Wikipedia article-worthiness.

Keep - As a founder of the SNC and VP of the SNB he is clearly notable. The article is well sourced and I can’t see how the encyclopaedia would be improved by deleting this.

COMMENT This article should not be deleted without getting input from AR-fluent editors regarding Arabic language sources, particularly those cited in the article. It seems likely that their coverage of this man may be greater.

COMMENT The Arabic sources cited are from Asharq Al-Awsat which is the most authoritative and widely-read newspaper in the Arab world. Shishaskli's views are solicited in these interviews not as a private citizen but because of his standing in the Syrian opposition. The sources for this article are impeccable.
