their has been significant third-party coverage from RS. Being quoted by one publication while speaking at a function for your own paper doesn't meet the bar for me. However I really don't want to come off as being argumentative here, and I may be biased by the cut/paste spam©vio start of the article.

Writing articles for a notable publication does not confer notability. The Saudi
Gazette reference is not a third-party reference. The other three references I would indeed call trivial, but regardless, of trivial-or-not the threshold of notability is not that they are non-trivial, but rather that

Thank you for your open mind. I have been hammered on these boards for being West-centric in regards to my thresholds of notability, so I've learned to look for "aggregates of information" when dealing with Asian countries. Also, "journalism", as we know it, does not exist in Saudi Arabia (see
