[edit] Hafez Abdel el-Wahab

Hafez Abdel el-Wahab, from whom Abdel Halim Hafez took the name Hafez for his stage name, was listed on a website that I found on the topic. However, Hafez Abdel el-Wahab seems incorrect -- should it be Hafez Abd el-Wahab? If anyone has any information on "Hafez Abdel el-Wahab", that would be great.

lexicorient.com cites the name as Hafez Abdel Wahab (which sounds more correct); —The preceding unsigned comment was added by AWN2 (talkcontribs).
The correct name is Abd El Halim Shabana عبد الحليم شبانة but he is famous as Abd El Halim Hafez. --Meno25 01:59, 27 December 2006 (UTC)


How much he's one of the four "greats" has to be written in this article? This article sounds like any groupie would write. It needs complete rewriting. Sabertooth 14:00, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Why is Abdelhalim classed under converts to Christianity?

He isn't! I am removing him from the list and removing the link from the article.--Karkaron 20:58, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 50 women committed suicide

Really? 50 women committed suicide after hearing he died. With no citation either. lmfaoo —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.45.210.156 (talk) 19:38, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
