Once these issues have been addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake.

Formal and small but important edits required edit

The spelling of Asad should be with one "s", given that putting two ("ss") whould imply a stress on the "s" sound in English, which is not the case in Asad's name. For a "z" sound in transliterating Arabic words into English, one would use a "z", not an "s". See for example Patrick Seale Asad: The Struggle for the Middle East. 18:24, 27 January 2019 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Plgx (talkcontribs)

Bias, indeed! edit

There are so few sources used in making sweeping assertions about Assad and Syria during his tenure, and curiously, they're all widely known to be friendly to US/UK imperialism. Is this really the best you fucks can cobble together???50.101.248.23 (talk) 14:17, 28 February 2018 (UTC)Reply

Why official, "nice" picture? edit

I'm happy to be one of the above-mentioned fucks. Continuing his personality cult on WP? Shameless. Arminden (talk) 09:07, 20 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

Article move edit

Three months ago the article has been moved to a new title by a bold move [1] which appears to be controversial, see Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2024_January_15#Category:Hafez_al-Assad. I am going to submit a technical move request to return to the status quo ex ante. If desirable, a WP:RM may follow. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:14, 24 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
