Hello, wondering what your rationale was for including this content in the article Saad al-Alami. Specifically referring to the content about his son. Thanks. --PerpetuityGrat (talk) 17:19, 28 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

It's pretty standard in biographical articles to mention spouses and children. News coverage of the 1972 killings frequently mentioned the mufti. jnestorius(talk) 17:35, 28 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
Ok, don't necessarily agree with that, but the source that mentions the son doesn't even mention Saad al-Alami. Where is the connection there? --PerpetuityGrat (talk) 18:15, 28 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
[1] "The doctor, Ahmad Alami, was born in Jerusalem in 1940 into a respected family: his father was Mufti of Jerusalem." jnestorius(talk) 19:18, 28 October 2021 (UTC)'Reply
Ahh okay thanks for explaining that. The source doesn't explicitly say which Mufti of Jerusalem fathered Ahmed... though I think it's safe to assume it wasn't Hussam ad-Din Jarallah (strictly because of the last name. He would have been 56 at the time of Ahmed's birth). Just saw the sentence being deleted in recent changes and thought I'd check. Thanks for explaining again. --PerpetuityGrat (talk) 21:22, 28 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
No problemo. I approve of querying sources if they are unclear. jnestorius(talk) 21:26, 28 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
