The queue gloss 'birth year not public' is wrong: both articles and the Wikidata item give his birth on 27 April 1958 in Turaif, and the record follows them. The Arabic article dates his appointment as air force commander to 2012 where the English article gives the tenure as 2013-2014; the summary follows the English tenure dates and the discrepancy is noted in the English source entity. No record or draft stub for him existed on origin/main when this record was built (checked by name fragments and by QID against origin/main on 2 November 2026).",
