@TheAafi: Can you write an article about Qadim Tarikh-e-Gujjar?–MinisterOfReligion ^(Talk) 18:39, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Although I feel we should have an article about this book, I have not got that much time right now to write about the book. Please also let me know if this is a general question or are you reviewing the DYK nomination? ─ The Aafī on Mobile ^{^(talk)} 18:41, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Overall: @TheAafi: To be honest, I don't think the hook is that interesting. Could another be proposed? Onegreatjoke (talk) 16:05, 24 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Onegreatjoke, Thanks for the review. What do you think about the following hook? I would be happy if you can make some changes to the hook with regards to style and grammar. ─ The Aafī (talk) 16:30, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
ALT1: ... that despite being interested in the Qadiri sufi order, Abdul Ghani Azhari published works on the Naqshbandi order?
ALT1a: ... that Abdul Ghani Azhari published works on the Naqshbandi sufi order whilst being more interested in the Qadiri order?
- @Onegreatjoke:, in case you missed the previous ping? ─ The Aafī (talk) 10:16, 1 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@TheAafi: Truthfully, I don't think that these are that interesting either. Maybe i'm not seeing it but I don't find these all that interesting. Onegreatjoke (talk) 18:19, 1 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Onegreatjoke:, Alt1a appears pretty much interesting and hooky to me and perhaps you are not getting it because this belongs to a subject where you don't contribute. It is okay and you can leave the nomination to be reviewed once again by someone else who knows the subjective stuff perhaps. ─ The Aafī (talk) 00:20, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Another reviewer is requested to take a look at this. Gazal world would you likely be available to re-review this nomination? ─ The Aafī (talk) 00:36, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. ALT0 is interesting; hook ref verified and cited inline. QPQ done. ALT0 good to go. --Gazal world (talk) 17:28, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
