- Reviewed: 5th nomination

Created by ResonantDistortion (talk). Self-nominated at 16:56, 27 October 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Maryam Eslamdoust; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

This is a review:
- Nominated within seven days of creation
- Article is ~2,500 characters
- Rough scan of sources reveals no unreliable ones, Earwig checks out ("Violation Unlikely", 11.5%)
- Article has minor issues that keep it from being presentable. "Eslamdoust born in Tehran, Iran" is not grammatical, and the judge's statement can be removed altogether. It would be best if the citations in the infobox are moved to the body.
- Hooks are cited by a source that seems acceptable
- Both hooks are interesting. Leaning towards the first one because it is more compact
- No images in article, so no copyright problems there
- QPQ unnecessary
- No other issues
@ResonantDistortion Almost ready for DYK. Ping me when issues are resolved and I will be glad to provide a passing tick. Bremps... 02:00, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Bremps Thank you for the comprehensive review. Good spot on the grammar error - I have fixed, and also moved the citations from the infobox. Presentation issues should be resolved now. Note: I have removed the judges statement at your suggestion - however given the text of this local court ruling was sufficiently unusual to be commented on within a national newspaper then I am more inclined to include it. I would welcome your further thoughts on this? ResonantDis_tortion 22:41, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

From the original source, it appears that the incident was interesting (and humorous) but the judge's quote isn't too special. Good work on the article; I'll pass this nomination. Bremps... 00:01, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
