... that Wagner Group head of logistics Valery Chekalov, who was killed in the 2023 Tver plane crash, used the call sign "Rover"?

QPQ is fine, article is new enough and long enough. Source is reliable, the article is verifiable. Happy to approve this. Frzzl talk; contribs 21:56, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

@Longhornsg and Frzzl: Article it tagged with a heavily edited banner. Might be best to let the editing slow down so that it is stable before promotion. Bruxton (talk) 13:51, 27 August 2023 (UTC)

@Longhornsg and Frzzl: Bruxton (talk) 13:54, 27 August 2023 (UTC)

That's fine by me - should we keep the nom open, but delay it a week or two? Frzzl talk; contribs 13:56, 27 August 2023 (UTC)

Yes Frzzl leave it open and ping when the editing slows down. I fear that it is too unstable ATM. Lightburst (talk) 19:04, 28 August 2023 (UTC)

@Frzzl and Bruxton: FYI, another editor removed the recent death banner and commented that editing had stabilized. Still find with waiting on this a week or so, but thought I'd give the heads up that we're in the clear anyway. Longhornsg (talk) 20:42, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
