Talk:Farah Chamma

This page should not be speedy deleted because...
This page should not be speedily deleted because Farah Chamma though young is an incredibly influential Arab woman who is currently fighting against her oppression with spoken word. I don't believe this page should be deleted simply for being lackluster on the opinion pieces of the article. I simply was getting the biographical facts done first. More time should be given before such harsh judgement and action is taken. --Daniellemath (talk) 04:27, 8 December 2014 (UTC)

Ultimately, the text was approved because it offered prose which was superior to that which had previously been in the article. But the items which require clarification need to be dealt with nonetheless. Regards, Spintendo  17:59, 5 September 2019 (UTC)
 * There are issues with this text which have been identified in the article through the use of inline templates. Those are:
 * 1) The difference between the two Sorbonne Universities needs to be delineated.
 * 2) A timeframe for her studies at the Abu Dhabi Sorbonne needs to be given.
 * 3) The text requires more references.
 * 4) Whether or not the MA was achieved at Goldsmith's — and if it was, in what year — along with a source reference.
