Created by Ampimd (talk). Self-nominated at 14:35, 9 November 2021 (UTC).[reply]

Full review to follow, but I'm not sure if the hook as currently written is broadly appealing (for example, it wasn't clear from the hook that the CAF Awards are an association football awards ceremony), so a revision may be necessary here. In addition, perhaps alternate hooks about her journalism career could also be proposed here? Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 11:03, 17 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

As for the review itself, the article was new and long enough at the time of the nomination, and I didn't find any close paraphrasing. No QPQ is required since the nom only has one prior nomination. The hook is cited inline, but per my earlier comments may need to be revised. I think that a hook about her hosting the 2022 Africa Cup of Nations final draw could be proposed here since that seems to be more interesting than the current hook proposal.

Not sure how interesting these are to a broad audience, but some alternatives?:
- ALT1 ... that Mimi Fawaz co-hosted the final draw for the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations?
- ALT2 ... that work by journalist Mimi Fawaz includes interviews with leaders of several African nations?
- ALT3 ... that Mimi Fawaz's work includes a documentary on the life of South African president Nelson Mandela?
Pinging Narutolovehinata5 and Ampimd for their thoughts. Amendments welcome. Urve (talk) 08:07, 22 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I think ALT1 and ALT3 are decent hooks, though I'd suggest rewriting ALT1 to say "co-hosted" rather than "held" for clarity purposes. ALT2 is a bit vague since no names are mentioned. I'd also like to hear Ampimd's thoughts on the new hooks first before giving final approval. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 08:35, 22 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Ampimd: Hello, please respond to the comments left here by editors: the nomination could potentially be closed if you aren't responsive to feedback. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 13:42, 22 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Narutolovehinata5 Sorry about that, I am new to DYK, this is my second nomination, unfortunately I was trying to get some alternatives, however the ones which have been provided by Urve seem good as well. ALT1 I think is a decent one. I side with you on changing to co-hosted. ALT2 seems broad and a bit vague. ALT3 is a good one as well. The Nelson Mandela one would certainly attract. I however still feel ALT 0 GLO-CAF Awards is a good one too, with your comment on it not being clear, should the CAF be expanded into Confederation of African Football then put into bracket as (CAF) perhaps that may help? The inclusion of Nigerian actor RMD's name was to help make it interesting as well. These are my views. Thank you. Ampimd (talk) 15:21, 22 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I think in this case ALT1 and ALT3 would have more international appeal. Would like to hear Urve's response here before approving them though. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 23:03, 22 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I think ALT0 is interesting but maybe not to a broad audience. If you want to amend any of the hooks I proposed or find another one, feel free to without consulting me - I just had these thoughts when coming across the article. Urve (talk) 00:21, 23 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Well understood Urve. ALT1 and ALT3 It is then. Thanks Urve for the suggestions. Ampimd (talk) 13:20, 23 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you @Ampimd and Urve:. This is good to go once the change I suggested for ALT1 is done; I can't do it myself because if I revised it myself a new reviewer would be needed and I don't want to put this off any longer. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 01:34, 25 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Done, Urve (talk) 01:51, 25 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. ALT1 and ALT3 are approved, with the final choice left to the promoter. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 01:58, 25 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
