Welcome!

Hello, Mohamad khansa, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with Wiki Education; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Your article

Hi. I moved your article back to your sandbox because it isn't ready for mainspace yet.

• Your article needs to assert notability. Simply being a CEO doesn't necessarily mean she's notable.
• Most of your article is unsourced. The only section that has an inline source is the "Biography" section. Every statement should be followed by a supporting citation; if a group of sentences are all supported by the same source, you can place a single reference after all of them, but you need to have at least one reference per paragraph, and you shouldn't have any statements after the final reference in a paragraph. This is especially important in biographies of living people.
• Sources need to be independent of the subject of the article. You need "several" (three or more) independent, reliable sources that have at least somewhat in-depth coverage of the person. Right now you have maybe one.
  • The "When Women Win" podcast is an interview, so it's not independent of the subject. While interviews are usable for uncontroversial information, they can't be used to demonstrate notability. In addition, when they're used, the information taken from them needs to be properly attributed. Use "according to..." or some similar phrasing, so that it's clear that this is coming from the source themselves. You can't state these things as. facts in Wikipedia's voice.
  • The "Forbes Middle East" source is probably ok, but it's a very basic bio. And anything sourced to it needs to be cited.
  • The ABANA speaker's profile isn't independent, it's a promotional blurb.
  • The Forbes Middle East Events is a speaker's profile, so again, not something you can use to demonstrate notability
  • The "Involved Heroes" site looks promotional as well. The fact that she was nominated by them might be usable, but you'd need to demonstrate that this is a notable award. Can you find a secondary source that discusses this?
  • The "Power of Tara" site is not independent.
  • I'm not sure how the "Reach Mentoring" is connected with her at all
• Wikipedia articles don't have "notable quotes" sections.

Foustok might well be notable enough for a Wikipedia biography, but your draft doesn't demonstrate that yet. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 15:08, 4 April 2022 (UTC)

Hi. As I mentioned before, you need reliable sources to write a Wikipedia article. This is especially important for articles about living people. As I said before

• The "Power of Tara" site is not independent
• The "When Women Win" podcast is an interview, so it's not independent
• The ABANA speaker's profile isn't independent
• The "Involved Heroes" site isn't adequate
• The Forbes Middle East Events can't be used

It seems like you removed the only reliable source that was there before, which is moving this in the wrong direction. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 14:09, 18 April 2022 (UTC)

Can you please tell me what can I do to make it right? Mohamad khansa (talk) 17:35, 19 April 2022 (UTC)

@Mohamad khansa You need to rely on better sources. I see you've moved the article back to mainspace again - without better sources I suspect that it will be deleted. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 13:49, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Farah Foustok

The article Farah Foustok has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

BLP does not meet WP:NBIO

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
