Political activist, his main campaign means that he has been mentioned in articles in newspapers internationally. However, I think this is far more about the protest than him directly, and I don't think it would get beyond WP:1E. I can't see that he meets WP:POLITICIAN, WP:BIO or WP:GNG. I'm aware that part of the problem is the language barrier. Boleyn ( talk) 19:42, 18 May 2015 (UTC) reply

• Delete. All of the sources simply mention this person in passing, and do not appear to provide a level of in-depth coverage sufficient to demonstrate general notability. -- DAJF ( talk) 02:25, 25 May 2015 (UTC) reply
