Created by Longhornsg (talk). Self-nominated at 02:51, 11 August 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Walid Hamdiya; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
This article was nominated on the day it was created. Sources check out. The hooks are interesting (though the hospital bed execution might be more so). There are two problems, however. One of them is length. Seemingly, the article just barely passes the length requirements; but there is so much repetition between the lead and the two sections that a mere character count is misleading. The second issue is notability. I see no evidence of significant coverage in the sources cited or the sources I find online. As far as DYK goes, however, I would say the first problem is more pressing. Surtsicna (talk) 20:13, 25 September 2023 (UTC)
Despite a review and a talk page message, and despite the nominator's activity elsewhere, the article issues have remained unaddressed. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 11:14, 15 October 2023 (UTC)
