Contested deletion: a member of the Saudi royal family[edit]

This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because he is verifiably a member of the Saudi royal family. --Shirt58 (talk) 15:27, 29 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

He is truly a member of the royal family, but he is one of more than 2000 member, the references provided are mere posts posted by him on social networking services. --97.107.180.106 (talk) 21:33, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This is all fake — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.183.34.166 (talk) 16:37, 15 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Steam profile should go ahead and be deleted[edit]

There is no source that it is actually his, except the profile itself. Anyone can make a Steam profile and name it whoever they want. Its not a reliable source. JungleEntity (talk) 02:32, 11 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Not just anyone can write an article for an Indian gaming news site, however. We'll see if any other outlets cover it before we incorporate it into the article, but in the meantime, we can't say there are "no sources" to the claim.

EDIT: Entirely missed the previous section, either way it's pretty obvious it's legitimate considering the attention it's getting and how it's being used. Will keep unless someone can prove it's someone else trolling. 86.21.89.187 (talk) 19:14, 10 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop talking about this guy being a gamer...[edit]

It's not him. The Steam profile that everyone talks about seems to belong to a Saudi prince, yes, but it's not this guy. The name displayed on the account in question is different. The only reason everyone thinks it's this guy is because some article decided to use his photo, but even that article used the correct name which, again, is not Salman bin Abdulaziz bin Salman. This is not the same person. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:8003:E533:4700:B897:8362:CAA7:6D0C (talk) 07:16, 1 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Change the title to remove "Born 1982"[edit]

Clearly an error BetweenCupsOfTea (talk) 17:55, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The association with the steam profile makes no sense.[edit]

The steam account claims to be Abdullah bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, which would mean that the account's owner would be the son of this Salman, or the former King Salman, though neither have a son named Abdullah. He seems to only post online in English and Russian, no Arabic. The article on prince Salman states that he speaks Arabic, English, and French, with no mention of Russian. It appears to me that the steam account is owned by a wealthy Russian Dota player who takes on the persona of a Saudi prince. At the very least, it definitely isn't owned by the subject of this article. 2600:4040:2867:EB00:1417:F2AC:659C:3A3D (talk) 20:35, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
