Talk:Mohammed Al Shanfari

Help?
Would you like some help? I just got an article approved so it is my turn to help someone else. I can't promise success since there seems to be the issue of notability. However a few thoughts. --Erp (talk) 05:04, 30 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Make the first sentence count.  "Mohammed Said Al-Shanfari (1949-2016) was a pioneer Omani theatre director, teacher, and mentor.   This might need to be modified if he also directed TV shows and/or film."  I get the feeling that his writing of plays was secondary to his directing and teaching, but, I could be wrong.
 * I note that the The World Encyclopedia of Contemporary Theatre: The Arab world seems to describes the history of modern theatre  in Oman.  Do you have the full chapter?  It makes me think you might want to include a short bit about theatre in Oman so as to place Al Shanfari within context (he is much more obviously significant when one realizes that theatre of this type only started in the 1950s in boys schools and that the Youth Theatre started in  1980 was the most important theatre group in the country in the 1980s (though according to this Al Shanfari did not become director until 1984 and was not the first).
 * Given that Arabic names may be transliterated in several different ways, I would give the Arabic lettering and perhaps some alternative spellings if any exist for his name.
 * I think by "preparation" you might mean "production"

Many thanks V useful I have used some of this : )) Oldtaxman (talk) 20:43, 2 February 2019 (UTC)
