I tagged this GA, even though it's short, because not much else is known about him. – Quadell (talk) (bounties) 18:15, 16 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Ugh, wth? Why does google indicate that this is the only example of "Banihammad" being a name? Is it not a name? Has there never been anybody else in the history of the world with the name Banihammad? Is it our transliteration skills that suck so hard? What's the right name? Pulling my hair out, grah!

بني (bny) means "sons of" in Arabic and حمد (ḥmd) is just a name. You could transliterate this as "Banihammad", "Bani Hamad", "Beni Hammad", "Beni-Hamad", or any other combination of the above. There are, unfortunately, quite a few "standard" ways of transliterating Arabic. —Gabbe 07:52, 27 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Appreciate the quick response, I wasn't aware "bani" shared a root with "ben/bin", so that makes a bit more sense, though I still find it odd nobody's ever been transliterated this way Sherurcij (talk) (Terrorist Wikiproject) 07:54, 27 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delisted GA[edit]

I'm afraid I must disagree with User:Quadell's assessment, the article has almost no references outside of two things near the bottom, as far as anybody not involved in writing the article can tell, almost everything may just be compleatly made up. This is clearly not a well-referenced article. Homestarmy 17:37, 5 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
