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|…: 29–30^[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
