Tawfiq Canaan


I'm nominating this article for featured article because it passed a GA nomination and review with flying colours and this seems like the next logical step.  T i a m u t  15:20, 21 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Weak Oppose just from a shallow skim I note
 * it depends heavily on a single source - of the institute of jerusalem - are there few other sources?
 * Should have a picture of him and a picture of one of the cover's of his published works.
 * - regarding your reasons for nominating it to FAC - but had you looked at the FACr and ensured that the article met the criteria? - that is the only true logical/procedural step preceding FAC nomination

 * I did read the FAC criteria and besides the lack of a picture, I believe the article meets the criteria outlined therein. I am looking for a picture on Canaan, but have been unable to find one as of yet. In terms of sources, while one source provides much of the biographical information on Canaan and is therefore used more than the others, there are a number of other reliable sources cited, establishing his notability and the importance of his work to many fields. I should mention I am also working on a sister article to this one on the Published works of Tawfiq Canaan at the suggestion of the GA reviewer. Perhaps the two should be merged to alleviate the concern over sourcing?  T i a m u t  11:33, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
