QPQ: Done.

Overall: The article is new enough (Created on Feb 15 submitted on Feb 18), long enough 4272 characters (671 words) per DYK Check. Well-sourced. Hook is cited and is reliable. QPQ is not needed as nom has less than 5 nominations

Now, the problem is the article is tagged with WP:WEASEL since February,the article has 47.6% on Earwig with this article aka WP:CLOSEPARA. I think this has potential but there is still a problem. Pinging @Abo Yemen: for responds. Warm Regards, Miminity (Talk?) (me contribs) 10:39, 9 March 2025 (UTC)

@Miminity: Thanks for the review. I almost forgot I had started this nom. I think I can fix those issues. Tho isn't 47% good enough or maybe a false positive? idk but ill see what I can do. Also is there a deadline cus it's Ramadan here and its hard to edit while fasting. (What's a QPQ?) 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 08:40, 10 March 2025 (UTC)

@Abo Yemen: WP:QPQ or quid pro quo is where you review one nominations before nominating a page. Though QPQ is only done when you have more than 5 nomination. So, you don't need QPQ. Anyhow, ping me if you are done fixing the page, though, no need to rush as DYK nominations can be up for 2 months since nomination, or in this case, this can still be approved before April 18.

@Miminity: I did some work on the article, want to check it out? 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 19:19, 19 March 2025 (UTC)

@Abo Yemen:. The Weasel seems to be done imo, Great Job, though there is still problems with the close paraphrasing. See this Copyvio report for more info on how to fix it. A few word per word copy for the source is added (excluding the quotations). Warm Regards, Miminity (Talk?) (me contribs) 08:05, 20 March 2025 (UTC)

@Miminity: how does it look now? 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 19:56, 20 March 2025 (UTC)

Good enough, though note to DYK admins, feel free to pull this out if the Earwig result is still high in your opinion. Warm Regards, Miminity (Talk?) (me contribs) 09:41, 21 March 2025 (UTC)
