The article is long enough and new enough. I assume good faith on the references that I can't access. The hook is directly cited. A QPQ is needed. SL93 (talk) 00:52, 24 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment @Philafrenzy: is there meant to be an alt1? Heythereimaguy (talk) 00:05, 29 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No. Philafrenzy (talk) 11:04, 29 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I am giving one more week to complete a QPQ or this nomination will be failed. SL93 (talk) 15:57, 31 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Philafrenzy: the hook doesn't quite make it clear who gave Youssefi the gold medal, or what it was in competition for—was it an honorary thing, or a competition thing, or just a plain ol' hunk o' gold? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 23:44, 31 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Theleekycauldron The article says "Yussefi formed leading collections of the stamps of Persia and Iran which earned him a gold medal and the Collector's Club of Chicago Award at Chicagopex 2015,[4] and a posthumous gold medal for his display of "Classic Persia" at the World Stamp Exhibition at Bangkok, Thailand, in 2018.[2]" I think that the hook has enough information to get someone to click on the article. Hooks don't need to give away all of the information. SL93 (talk) 23:57, 31 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed they don't; as long as it works out, I'll take it. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 00:05, 1 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Notability?

The sources for the article appear to be an auctioneer (the "museum") and a death notice. Are there WP:GNG sources? Levivich 12:37, 10 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
