There is no substantive RS coverage of this person. The WP page is a glorified resume. It has been tagged with "resume"-like tags since 2012, yet no one appears to have been able to fix the page. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 01:21, 9 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I did not look for new sources, but... the current sourcing makes this look like a vanity page. The subject does not seem to have attracted independent commentary. --- Possibly ☎ 09:14, 10 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You may have overlooked one current source [1] ― I can't imagine he wants his vanity page associated with Jeff. userdude 20:59, 10 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The following is all of the potentially relevant additional coverage I could find:
- Inner City Press extensively discusses Dossal for his relation to Ghislaine Maxwell [2] [3], but I am skeptical of the accuracy of this source (eg, its Wikipedia article currently says UN Secretary General António Guterres had Inner City Press roughed up on 3 July 2018 and banned from entering since whereas the cited U.S. Press Freedom Tracker article says Lee has suggested that the UN roughed him up and expelled him from the UN building on July 3 as part of a conspiracy to stop him from reporting on the UN’s relationship with Cameroon. It’s more likely that Lee was ordered to leave the building because it was after 7 p.m. and he was a non-resident correspondent).
- Dossal is quoted in a Yahoo Finance article that may be a non-independent press release [4].
- Moderate coverage in a Forbes contributor article [5]
- Quoted in VOA News [6] and WSJ [7].

From my search, Dossal falls well short of WP:GNG/WP:BASIC. userdude 20:59, 10 July 2021 (UTC); edited 23:38, 10 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:SIGCOV. He appears to be a run of the mill civil servant. Good job. in 2006, this could have been forgiven, but in 2021, everybody knows we are not social media or a free webhost. Bearian (talk) 20:41, 15 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
