General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Thank you for this article. There are some issues. (1) The hook needs to be re-written in standard English. (2) The header of the article needs to make clear the location of the statue (the header says it was erected by the mayor of Atlacomulco, but it does not state that it was put up in that place). (3). The article says that the destruction of the statue occurred when the new regime took power, but it does not mention any disagreement between the new regime and Obrador. Could we mention their political differences? - Otherwise the destruction does not make sense to readers who do not know the local politics - so the central reason for the existence of the article (the meaning of the destruction of the statue) is missing. I accept that the official enquiry has not yet established who did what and why, but a list of the political differences of the new and old regimes might give us a clue.

1. Reworded: ALT1: that a statue of the president of Mexico, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, was installed although he has opposed cults of personality? (Source: "It is no longer time to cult personalities, in my case I have written in my will that I do not want my name to be used," said AMLO.[1])
2. Reworded.
3. Storye book, This is a tough one because there is no conflict between Obrador and the PRI. In fact, although he [selectively] blames them for the country's problems, he has suggested them to be aligned with him.[2] His "enemy" if anything is the National Action Party (Mexico), the PRI's current ally. But unless there is evidence of someone responsible, I cannot place (or even suggest) any accountability beyond that established by the sources (or legally speaking, the local authorities).

  • Thank you, Tbhotch. Don't worry, I understand about what you can and cannot say. All the DYK issues have now been resolved, and I have struck out my comments. This nomination is good to go with ALT1. It's a grey tick because I've forgotten most of my Spanish now, sadly. Storye book (talk) 21:13, 13 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Tweaked ALT1 to T:DYK/P6
