Please change the number of funeral attendees to 1.4 million people instead of "tens of thousands", as confirmed by official Lebanese sources: https://al-akhbar.com/lebanon/824304/%D8%B9%D8%AF%D8%AF-%D9%85%D8%B4%D9%8A%D8%B9%D9%8A-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B4%D9%87%D9%8A%D8%AF%D9%8A%D9%86-%D9%86%D8%B5%D8%B1-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%84%D9%87-%D9%88%D8%B5%D9%81%D9%8A-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AF%D9%8A%D9%86-%D8%AA%D8%AC%D8%A7%D9%88%D8%B2-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D9%84%D9%8A%D9%88%D9%86-%D8%B4%D8%AE%D8%B5 156.215.197.163 (talk) 22:08, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry; I don't read Arabic, But I found an English source which said: Hundreds of thousands attend funeral of slain Hezbollah leaders in Beirut, so I changed "tens of thousands" to "hundreds of thousands", -for now, Huldra (talk) 22:52, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Actual DOB is 11/28/1959 (error on birth certificate as is typical in these countries)

Early life and education

Actaully he is born on 28/11/1959 And he is the first among his siblings not the ninth 94.187.17.135 (talk) 14:08, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

you need to have a source for both those statements, Huldra (talk) 21:06, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

His daughter

His daughter Zainab Nasrallah didn't die she's alive 94.187.17.135 (talk) 14:19, 24 February 2025 (UTC) Done; updated, I found a source for that, Huldra (talk) 21:05, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Western-centric article written at least in part by people who can't even read Arabic

This is the sort of article that gives Wikipedia a bad name. You have 117 references and three-quarters must be Western sources including such infamous propaganda outlets as MEMRI and CAMERA. There seem to be about two sources written in Arabic. Just how many of your privileged writers permitted to contribute to articles on the 'Middle East' have at least a working knowledge of Arabic?

This is clearly inadequate guys. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kombo the mzungu (talk • contribs) 08:43, 25 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Holocaust Denial

I see that Nasrallah was removed from the Holocaust denial category. I found these sources that note he praised Holocaust deniers, and one from the Jerusalem Post that called him a denier himself.

https://www.jpost.com/middle-east/french-cartoon-row-islamic-leaders-push-holocaust-denial-in-response-647649

Is this a valid source regarding Nasrallah? JPHC2003 (talk) 03:20, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

"The Jerusalem Post is generally reliable but should be treated with caution when making extraordinary claims regarding the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. It should be used as a source for the Israeli–Palestinian conflict only to cite basic facts or if its reporting is validated by additional reporting from another source not similarly limited."WP:RSP I would not count this as a basic fact and the page is tagged as contentious topic on PIA.
