• New article nom'd in 2 days of creation, length add up, sources checked. Should be good but there is a tag that may need answering. (even though its not for the hook). would also take out "reportedly" from the hook as RS refs confirm.Lihaas (talk) 23:33, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

• True, I added reportedly just in case there was any governmental disagreement to it, in order to be neutral. But it's removed now. Oh, and I removed your which tag, because I see no possible way of figuring out what type of Muslim he is. Silverseren^C 23:45, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

I presume he's shia, though that would be OR/Synthesis. the govt issue is total rot anyways, independent media is more accurate. just need npov to say they denied it. Ill wait for EL to come on and see if he has an answer to that Muslim thing, if not id just approve with his go ahead.Lihaas (talk) 00:56, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

I know he is Shia because his sister told me so but I dont know if we have any RS that says he is. -- The Egyptian Liberal (talk) 07:44, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

Is it possible to cite it as a personal interview with her? If so that could work. but i think the article is otherwise good to go.

also tweaked blurb a bitLihaas (talk) 19:39, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

• Background section is not cited. Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:06, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

• Fixed. Silverseren^C 02:19, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

• Fine now. I've removed the Shia Muslim bit from the hook until it can be shown with an RS, as required (and noted in hidden text in the infobox) Crisco 1492 (talk) 08:45, 21 September 2011 (UTC)
