Submission declined on 1 October 2025 by Anachronist (talk). This draft's references do not show that the person meets Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion for people. The draft requires multiple published secondary sources that: provide significant coverage: discuss the person in detail, not brief mentions or interviews lacking independent analysis; are reliable: from reputable outlets with editorial oversight; are independent: not connected to the person, such as interviews, press releases, the subject's own website, or sponsored content. Please add references that meet all three of these criteria. If none exist, the subject is not yet suitable for Wikipedia. This draft reads like an advertisement. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a platform for promotion or marketing. Drafts that are exclusively promotional may be deleted without notice. Wikipedia articles must be written neutrally in a formal, impersonal, and dispassionate way. They should not read like a blog post, advertisement, or fan page. Rewrite the draft to remove: promotional language: see Words to watch; personal commentary: opinions or direct addresses to the reader; informal language. Instead, only summarize in your own words a range of independent, reliable, published sources that discuss the subject. If you have a conflict of interest (e.g. you are the subject, an employee, or a relative) or are being paid to edit, you must disclose this to comply with Wikipedia's Terms of Use.

• Comment: You didn’t adequately address the last reviewer’s concerns. The draft is still promotional, and the only sources now are the subject’s own LinkedIn page(!) and their employer. —pythoncoder (talk | contribs) 08:17, 2 October 2025 (UTC)

• Comment: We don't need a hagiography on Wikipedia. Also, not one single source meets all three requirements of WP:Golden rule. All we have are trivial mentions, an interview, and citations to the subject's own writing. I am inclined to reject this rather than decline it, but I'll give it a chance to improve. If it is resubmitted without addressing these concerns, it should be rejected. ~Anachronist (who / me) (talk) 04:12, 1 October 2025 (UTC)

When the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine and Gaza war of 2023 happened, Arouzi offered his analysis, reporting, and coverage of the ongoing crises on all NBC platforms.^[4]
