Comment, not review@Thismess:, this is your 6th nomination, so you need to complete a full review of one other nomination (unrelated to you), see WP:QPQ. TSventon (talk) 19:00, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
Overall: The hook isn't quite accurate - it implies (or even states outright) that Paludan caused the controversy from 2023 Quran burnings in Sweden, but that isn't what our article there says, it says "The most notable of them occurred on 28 June 2023, when a 37-year-old Iraqi Assyrian refugee Salwan Momika ripped out and set fire to pages of the Quran". Paludan may have been first, but does not seem to have been the most controversial. So we need either a rephrasing of the hook (was the first of the... ?), or a completely different hook (maybe the 2022 Sweden riots; or that he's a regular candidate for office despite a noticeable effect of brain injury; or that he founded a church; or that he's a hard line anti-immigrant while himself being an immigrant; or that he's banned from Sweden; many, many others ... the article is just full of "hooky" possibilities!).
Also, thought the image is technically acceptable, I think there's a very similar but noticeably better image, here at the right. You'd need to put it in the article, but again I think it's just better than the proposed one: he's got his eyes open, and slightly less double chin, and it's more obvious that the book being burned is the Koran, which is often printed with a geometric design cover, rather than just any paperback.

I tried to rewrite the hook to be more accurate in terms of sequence of events. Otherwise I am of course fully aware of everything else you write, but I found my selection of hook and image to be the most noteable and preferable (in the image his attention/eyes is more focused on the burning, and the burning/book is more lively).

Update: after some reconsideration, I have decided to withdraw the proposed picture (and any other) from the nomination, as I think it might just be too controversial for the main page in any case. Thismess (talk) 07:44, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
@Thismess: Would you be OK with "began a major global controversy"? I don't think "what caused" adds much. --GRuban (talk) 23:46, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
Sure, I've updated the hook now. Thismess (talk) 01:02, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
