Draft:Hatem Raslan

• File:Symbol opinion vote.svg Comment: " Association.[2][3][4][5][6]" is a prime example of WP:CITEKILL. Instead we need one excellent reference per fact asserted. If you are sure it is beneficial, two, and at an absolute maximum, three. Three is not a target, it's a limit. Aim for one. A fact you assert, once verified in a reliable source, is verified. More is gilding the lily. Please choose the very best in each case of multiple referencing for a single point and either drop or repurpose the remainder.
  What I get from this draft is that Raslan's father's investment bought his diplomatic position. Was that your intention? I did not find it in the citation. WP:OR,surely? 🇵🇸‍🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦‍🇵🇸 20:03, 7 December 2025 (UTC)
