Overall: 
This is a good nomination! I really enjoyed reading the article. The article is new enough, long enough and has only one sourcing issue (there is a single uncited sentence at the end of the "Personal life" section. The line can be removed or a source can be added to fix this). No copyvio issues (there was one false positive on Earwig, because a quote didn't have quotation marks, but I fixed this). Both hooks are cited and interesting, but I'm not sure about the quality of the sources. Both seem a bit blog-like, especially Hooshmand.net. Would it be possible to find alternatives? This nom's ready as soon as the sourcing issues are fixed. BuySomeApples (talk) 23:54, 1 January 2022 (UTC)

- @Aeichler1 and BuySomeApples: Doing a re-ping because the last one didn't go through. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 11:11, 30 January 2022 (UTC)
- @Narutolovehinata5 and Aeichler1: It looks like the sourcing issues are still there and I couldn't find better ones. I don't think I can approve the hooks as is, so I'm adding an alt hook with a better source for review. BuySomeApples (talk) 19:19, 30 January 2022 (UTC)
Second review needed on ALT2, since I can't approve my own hook. BuySomeApples (talk) 19:19, 30 January 2022 (UTC)
Removing tick, ALT2 is still good but the article has some issues that need to be addressed. valereee (talk) 13:16, 3 February 2022 (UTC)
- Working on the issues, but it may be a couple of weeks before my research materials arrive. valereee (talk) 19:33, 3 February 2022 (UTC)
- @Valereee: The nominator hasn't edited since January 24th. Would you be willing to adopt this nomination in their stead if they do not return? In addition, given that the nomination has been open since late December, the issues probably need to be resolved sooner or later.

- Narutolovehinata5, I can do that if need be, but I'm not sure it's going to be ready soon as some of the research materials are coming through interlibrary loan. I'm not too concerned about the timing, though, and maybe the delay will give the nom a chance to see this is being discussed. valereee (talk) 19:39, 4 February 2022 (UTC)
