Will be claiming this review and hope to get to it within the next few days. For now, the hook is good and sourced; AGF on the source, but just to be sure I'd like to see on this page the relevant excerpt for verification purposes.

Continuing the review: the article is new enough and long enough at the time of the nomination, and no close paraphrasing was detected. A QPQ has been done, and the provided hook is interesting and cited inline. Given that I do not have access to the hook fact, I am assuming good faith here. This is almost ready to go: I would just like to see the relevant excerpt here be provided for verification purposes; the tick will be given once that's done.

"Dr. Abdur Rahman MAHMUDI. Born 1909. [...] Beaten in prison, kidneys virtually destroyed. Wrote poems in prison using onion juice as ink" --Soman (talk) 21:47, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That should work. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 07:01, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
