Length of both articles ok. Date perhaps such have bee 6 Sep, but ok. No close paraphrase found. Image free on Commons. I prefer the original hook, but don't see sentences in article (directly referenced) clearly stating the fact. The articles need some editing, sentence such as "He died shortly after, and the" appears incomplete. Also, is the Arabic script names correct? I know nothing about Arabic script use in North Caucasus, but نازمودن is not Najmuddin in Arabic. --Soman (talk) 14:10, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- @Soman:, I'm not quite sure if it would be written with the same letters as Arabic or if it would be written in the same style as Cyrillic/Latin-script forms of Avar. I wouldn't have any bias towards changing the spelling of Najmuddin in Arabic-script Avar to the Arabic form. The problem of an incomplete sentence has been fixed, as was a spelling error in the body. Mupper-san (talk) 21:18, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  - Well, I learnt something new today. Usually non-Arabic languages retain Arabic spellings of Islamic names when using Arabic scripts. But I now understand that the spellings in Avar with Arabic differ from Arabic (I note the spelling of Rasul here for example). I also now find the hook fact in each other articles, --Soman (talk) 22:45, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
