Thank you! This is my first time writing a Wikipedia article, so there's a bit of a learning curve. What kind of edits would you suggest to improve this? NourhanAbdelfattah (talk) 14:24, 21 July 2023 (UTC)

I've seen worse, and he's clearly notable, so I didn't delete, but some issues.

• You don't have enough wikilinks, eg journalist
• You haven't formatted publications correctly, eg Circling Around the Empty Head Dar El-Horreya (1974), Reading for Everyone or Masriyah
• Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the person or an associated organisation, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the person claims or interviewing them. Note that references should be in-line so we can tell what fact each is supporting, and should not be bare urls. YouTube isn't acceptable, nor are his own works. Lists of publications shouldn't have any refs, no one doubts their existence
• Even apart from the publications, it's grossly overlinked, eg Mohamed Elshahat's poetry has been covered and published in many Egyptian and Arab newspapers, magazines, and literary journals[2][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28]. where you have more refs than there are words in the sentence they are supporting, you don't need to reference every example, the sentence should have one ref to a good source that says that. There are other examples of massive overlinking
• Reviews of his work aren't relevant, his notability doesn't depend on what people think of his books, and reviews just look spammy
• Avoid loaded phrases like He has also had a rich record Also something like "Career" is more neutral than "Accolades"

• I'm unclear of the point of the "Media appearances". Not a factor in his notability and the sources are completely unsuitable

• You must not copy text or images from elsewhere. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. We require that text posted here can be used, modified and distributed for any purpose, including commercial; text is considered to be copyright unless explicitly stated otherwise. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient. I didn't check the text, but the images of his books were clearly violations. The art work will probably be the copyright of the publisher or the artist, and even if you claim it's his, there is no evidence that he has released the copyright
