Created on April 25, 2015 and nominated the following day. Per discussion above, nomination was "rescued" as non-transcluded/New enough when nominated. 8778 char/long enough. Cited. No apparent copyvios. Neutral. Both hooks under maximum. Image per commons is in public domain. QPQ not required as nominator has had no other DYK nominations. No access to "Chick" p. 144 and though url to "Jackson & Lockhart" p 390 was not given in file, I was able to locate and add it. It confirms most details in the hook, and that her father was the brother-in-law of the Shah, though not the claims of her family being part of the Safavid dynasty. However, page 356 of this source shows that the dynasty ran until 1722, thus, I believe the hooks to be verified. However, I have some problems with the first hook as the only source I can access indicates that Shirley was a hostage, diplomat, and his exploits may have been "exaggerated", which does not specifically support the claim that he was "noted" and second, the source clearly states they were married, which is legally different than a traditional marriage or common law union, which might be construed from "became the wife of". It may well be that the Chick source provides more of the details thus will approve AGF. In any case, fascinating profile of a very interesting woman. SusunW (talk) 21:10, 12 February 2016 (UTC)
