... that the 1958 Lebanese presidential election was held during an armed rebellion while 10,000 US troops were deployed in the nation? Source: the first major step towards ending the armed rebellion [... one of the main unanswered questions was that of what the election portended for the 10,000 United States troops that began landing here on July 15]

Article was expanded fivefold since the 23d, is well-written and has no outstanding disputes or copyright issues. The hook is short, interesting and to the point and is indeed supported by the source and hence seems ready. One minor suggestion I have is that the ref, as it is now, is somewhat confusing to read (though it does essentially follow the title of the article). I'm not sure, but it might be a good idea to shorten to LEBANON ELECTS A NEW PRESIDENT or similar. Best, Blablubbs ^{(talk • contribs)} 14:41, 26 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

Thanks, Blablubbs! I've added a QPQ above. Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 15:24, 26 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
