Update January 2015. I inserted an image taken from the Wikimedia Commons [1]. On this Wikimedia commons page, the copyright holder published the image under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 Unported license. It has therefore been added to Gad Saad's Wikipedia page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.205.236.24 (talk) 19:05, 22 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Exclamation mark solved: This article's use of external links may not follow Wikipedia's policies or guidelines.

All external links within the article have been removed. Links within the article only link to Wikipedia pages. External links have been placed in the reference section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.205.236.24 (talk) 19:08, 22 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Exclamation mark solved: This biographical article needs additional citations for verification (March 2008)

Many secondary citations have been added to the article. In fact, a citation is in place for almost every sentence/idea. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.205.236.24 (talk) 19:09, 22 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Exclamation mark solved: This biographical article relies too much on references to primary sources (July 2014)

Secondary sources have been added to the article throughout. Almost every point of information, including the primary research referenced, now has secondary sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.205.236.24 (talk) 19:11, 22 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Exclamation mark solved: The topic of this article may not meet Wikipedia's notability guideline for academics (July 2014)

The notability criteria for the person in this article have been satisfied from both the "academics" and "general" guidelines.

1. Notability for authors (academics). Criterium #7 on the Wikipedia Notability (academics) page says that "[t]he person has made substantial impact outside academia in their academic capacity." Gad Saad's work has been featured and reviewed by numerous business and culture publishers, as shown in the references provided in the article (e.g., Forbes, The economist, independent academic book reviews). If more evidence is required of his impact outside academia, large lists of reviews, feature articles and interviews with highly regarded business and culture publishers can be added to the article. Also, according to Google Scholar (January 21, 2015), he has received 1508 citations, which is large.

2. Notability for authors (general). The primary criterium on the Wikipedia Notability (people) page says that "[p]eople are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published[3] secondary sources which are reliable, intellectually independent of each other,[4] and independent of the subject." Gad Saad's work has been featured and reviewed by numerous business and culture publishers, as shown in the references provided in the article (e.g., Forbes, The economist, independent academic book reviews). If more evidence is required of his impact outside academia, large lists of reviews, feature articles and interviews with highly regarded business and culture publishers can be added to the article.

Because Gad Saad is notable according to both the academics and general notability guidelines, I removed the notability exclamation marks. If more secondary sources are required these can be added to the page in the listed subsections of the bibliography. That said, the article as it stands seems to be adequately succinct. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.205.236.24 (talk) 19:30, 22 January 2015 (UTC) In sum, this guy is all over the internet now on top news and business sites and has a large number of academic citations. The only question is how many of these secondary sources are necessary to cite without the page looking self-promotional. I believe the current form to be adequate.[reply]

The Saad family of Beirut/Lebanon

You can see the burials of the Saad and the Saadia jewish family of Lebanon here https://www.sephardicgen.com/databases/BeirutCemeterySearchEngine.php?NoKind=exact&NoMax=&SurnameSoundex=S300&SurnameKind=sounds&SurnameMax=Saad&GivenNameKind=contains&GivenNameSoundex=&GivenNameMax=&FathersNameKind=exact&FathersNameMax=&SpousessurnameKind=contains&SpousessurnameSoundex=&SpousessurnameMax=&SpousesGivenNameKind=contains&SpousesGivenNameSoundex=&SpousesGivenNameMax=&GenderKind=exact&GenderMax=&GregorianDateofDeathDayKind=exact&GregorianDateofDeathDayMax=&GregorianDateofDeathMonthKind=exact&GregorianDateofDeathMonthMax=&GregorianDateofDeathYearKind=exact&GregorianDateofDeathYearMax=&HebrewDateofDeathKind=exact&HebrewDateofDeathMax=&AgeyearsKind=exact&AgeyearsMax=&TombstonematerialKind=exact&TombstonematerialMax=&StateofGraveKind=exact&StateofGraveMax=&NotesKind=exact&NotesMax=&offset=1&pagesize=20.

There is no evidence that the Saad and the Saadia family of Lebanon is the same family. Yes the Saadia family arrived to Lebanon from Damascus according to https://farhi.org/Documents/JuifsduLiban.htm but you can see in that same article that the author names the Saad and the Saadia families separately in the list of Jewish families of Beirut. There is also no evidence nor sources that says the Saad families of Beirut or Lebanon are all one same family nor that the Saad family branch of Gad Saad came from Damascus to Beirut.

A detailed list of the Lebanese Jewish surnames of Beirut and Saida (Sidon) is found at https://farhi.org/Documents/The%20Jews%20of%20Lebanon.htm. The more detailed list can be found at https://www.sephardicgen.com/databases/LebanonSurnamesSearchEngine.php?SurnameKind=exact&SurnameSoundex=&SurnameMax=&SourceIKind=exact&SourceIMax=&SourceIIKind=exact&SourceIIMax=&SourceIIIKind=exact&SourceIIIMax=&SourceIVKind=exact&SourceIVMax=&NotesKind=exact&offset=1 Chris O' Hare (talk) 20:04, 20 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
