Latest comment: 5 years ago by Ipigott in topic False birth year

Article deletion edit

I do not think this article should be deleted as a quick Google search shows that she has been covered in a number of press articles in both English and Arabic. The article simply needs to be expanded.--Ipigott (talk) 08:07, 14 August 2018 (UTC)Reply

Sorry about incomplete creation edit

Sorry about creating an incomplete article about a BLP in mainspace. I actually intended to create this as a draft. I didn't realize it was in mainspace until I got the speedy deletion notice. — Mr. Guye (talk) (contribs)  01:17, 27 August 2018 (UTC)Reply

False birth year edit

@Ipigott: |birth_date=

  • Your entry: {{Birth year and age|1995}}: 1995 (age 28–29)
  • Mine: {{Age as of date|18|2012|05|16}}<ref name="Ghazal">{{Cite web|…: 30–31[1]

How did you get the (false, unless I'm wrong) 1995 number? — Mr. Guye (talk) (contribs)  01:55, 27 August 2018 (UTC)Reply

I suppose we really need the date of the audition to be able to establish the exact date of birth.--Ipigott (talk) 06:26, 27 August 2018 (UTC)Reply

Expert needed edit

Article needs further expansion, especially by editors with:

  • More familiarity with the subject
  • Access to local and regional sources
  • Comprehension of the Arabic language
