Citation edit
[1] Here is the citation that he is Lebanese American.--69.171.35.198 23:04, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
Song? edit
The Vandals' song "N.I.M.B.Y." is centered around Smith. Thinkin it should be somewhere on here....
Copyvio? edit
This page seems to quote extensively from the "sanctioned but not operated by GE Smith" Myspace page it links to. We might want to examine the copyvio situation here...

Hmmm, there is no Lebanese language. The two official languages of Lebanon are French and Arabic. 13Sundin (talk) 14:46, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
- @13Sundin: Please read the article Lebanese Arabic. Hartenhof (talk) 17:34, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
- @Hartenhof: Lebanese Arabic is a dialect of the Arabic language, not an actual separate language called Lebanese. It's like saying that Southern US dialect is a separate language, not a local dialect of the English language. 13Sundin (talk) 18:36, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
- @13Sundin: Of course it is, but it's about GE's last name here, that's all, not about making a point on linguistics or dialectology. Haddad means blacksmith in Lebanese Arabic dialect, that's all the guy was saying, way back in 2010. Hartenhof (talk) 18:52, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
- @Hartenhof: I'm just having issues with how the sentence is formulated, that's all. That's why I quoted the sentence as the subject. 13Sundin (talk) 19:43, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
