Thanks for creating this interesting article! I will review this until tomorrow! WatkynBassett (talk) 09:48, 29 December 2022 (UTC)Reply

- Review:
- The article is new enough (created on 23 December 2022; nominated on 27 December 2022).
- The article is long enough (more than 1,500 characters of readable prose even before my small additions).
- The article seems free of copyvios; Earwig didnot pick up any issues.
- The article is sourced and the quality of sources seems good enough. The İslâm Ansiklopedisi is an academic encyclopaedia and "The Ottoman World" is published by a well-known academic publisher. As I was not at all familiar with either the topic or this literary field in general, I checked the content a little more than usual against the sources and discovered no issues.
- QPQ is done.
- The original hook is interesting and hooky. I prefer it much more than ALT1.
  - The hook is short enough, but a little bit on the long side (190 characters).
  - It is cited inline and neutral.
- Overall: I think the original hook is good to go! Thank you for creating free knowledge! WatkynBassett (talk) 12:16, 29 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
