| Submission declined on 5 January 2024 by Paul Vaurie (talk). This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources. This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia. Declined by Paul Vaurie 4 months ago. | |
Comment: Well, like an essay--it's not well-written. It's not even clear who this person is or in which time period they lived, at least not in the beginning. The editor needs to figure out how we write biographies, and then format the citations properly so this looks like a proper encyclopedic article. Drmies (talk) 22:47, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

Mohammed Korayem (Arabic: السيد محمد كُرَيم, romanized: El-Sayed Mohammed Kurayyim) more commonly known in the western world as Koraim Pasha, was an Egyptian nationalist, politician, military commander, and governor of Alexandria. Korayem is known for being the Governor of Alexandria, and the leader of the Alexandrian popular resistance against the French Invasion during the French Campaign in Egypt.[1][2].
Korayem led a force of around 500 men who resisted the French invasion of Alexandria in July 1798.[3]. This resistance was overpowered by the French, led by Napoleon Bonaparte who went on to capture much of the Egyptian north coast, extending to the Levant[4]
Korayem is well remembered in Egypt, with many public facilities, roads, schools and public spaces named after him in Alexandria. He is widely celebrated due to being the first commander who stood against Napoleon in the long campaign in Egypt[5][6][7]
