  •   Hi @Uriel1022: this article, more than 5x expanded on the 9 October, is long enough, new enough, well-sourced, and copyvio-free. QPQ does not need to be done. Unfortunately, now that an article for Pearl Temple exists, I'd say that this hook probably belongs to that article and not this one. Some ALTs suggested themselves while reading this interesting article:
ALT1: ... that a 9th-century opthalmologist is evidence for the presence of the Church of the East in Sichuan.
ALT2: ... that a Chinese poet wrote about a Syriac church in Sichuan without knowing what it was?
Please let me know whether you have any other hooks in mind. Once you've given your input, I think this article is good to go. Tenpop421 (talk)
Hi Tenpop421. Thank you for taking time to review the article. I'm glad you enjoyed it :) Your hooks are perfect, my vote goes to ALT2. Uriel1022 (talk) 21:29, 8 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
  Brilliant. Whoever promotes this has their choice of hook. Good to go. Tenpop421 (talk) 21:41, 8 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
