Speedy deletion nomination of Razan Khalifa Al Mubarak

Hello Polymathcult,

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

Please

...be very careful when you add sources. If a person is spoken of in a source as having a love of something, then going off to college, it cannot be said (only from such general statements), that the subject that they loved became their major in college. We must be both precise and accurate in our renderings from sources.

Moreover, if you are adding sources to text already appearing (post hoc, forensic sourcing), if coming upon a source with content close to what the text says, we must edit the original text to correspond to the newly placed source. To do otherwise is to give only the appearance of completeness (and scholarship). In fact, adding a source without making sure the text is fully accurate to that source makes the article less encyclopedic, and further from being a GA article (because what was a superficial, obvious problem is now hidden). Cheers. [ a frmr editor and prof, looking in ] 2601:246:C700:19D:A11E:908B:8D52:6AF6 (talk) 21:27, 5 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
