[edit] Information about article and my changes
- The original article seemed to be based on the official bio (but not an exact copy). I didn't add any facts (personal to her), but removed some that seemed dubious.
- Every link to to her official web site appears (unconfirmed) to be done by the same person who made the web site, so should be disregarded when doing a "Google hit count" for notability.
- Her bio said she's "from Acre" in "occupied Palestine" (aka Israel). Yet, she was born in Lebanon, and moved to Syria at age 3. She never, seemed to move to Israel. She definately wasn't there originally. A possible reason could be that her ancestors were from Acre, and fled to Lebanon circa 1948. If that happened even her dad was to young to have ever lived in Acre. So, the official bio must have a major factual error and/or substantial omissions.
- Her dad permanently disapeared in the 1982 war, and a different source gives her birth as 1980, meaning she was 2 when he disappeared. [1].
- If this was an American actress, with so little written up, I would vfd it, but given that she's arab, it might be that little comes up becomes I'm only doing an English language search for her. If the rest of her bio is legit, than she warrants an article.
- Nadine Salameh has an imdb enter as Nadeen Salameh, but it only has a single entry for Ruaa halema. So, I though it's not worth mentioning.
- Hoax possibility: I pretty much ruled this out. At first it seemed odd an Arabic person would have a web site with no Arabic, and no links to Arabic sites. But, there is mention of her and her dad in independent sites, so she seems real. But, I wish an Arabic speaker would fix this article (one way or another).
