- ... that Tariq bin Taimur was the son of a sultan, brother of a sultan, uncle of another sultan, and father of yet another sultan?

First let me say that this is a fantastic fact and I think the problem that I am noting has a not-too-difficult fix. Article is new enough and just barely long enough, at 1523 characters. The hook is under 200 characters, is neutral, and is certainly interesting. The references here show that the subject's son was a sultan, but I don't see all the facts substantiated in them; however, references in the page do show this hook to be true. QPQ was done. What stops me from approving the DYK now is that I have concerns about the articles' compliance with WP:V. Specifically, the second paragraph of the article has a number of specific claims which are not cited anywhere in the article. The third paragraph does too. Those claims should all have in-line citations to comply with WP:V. This is my second DYK review, so per the intro of the reviewing guide, I invite a second opinion for my review. - Astrophobe (talk) 04:49, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
- Astrophobe, I am not feeling particularly well at the moment so I would like to withdraw the nomination Векочел (talk) 02:15, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
