- Comment: Request for July 23rd for the start of the Olympics. Otherwise I don't mind if it appears sometime between July 23rd and July 30th as there's been a lot of Olympic DYK hooks.

- Not a review but I note that all hooks say something about Al-Harthi, who is linked from the hooks, that it does not say in his bio. Although that’s not the target article, I don’t think that’s good enough. Should be easy to add those facts to the bio. Schwede66 20:36, 19 June 2021 (UTC)
- I shall conduct the full review for this
Article is long enough (5086 characters), is a GA, nominated in time (became GA on 14 June, nominated on 19 June), and article is within policy- Hooks are all short enough, interesting, in the article, and well cited by [1]. My preference is for ALT0, which encompasses both of the issues he had en route
- QPQ done
- Overall, this nomination passes, congratulations. I will add it to the Olympics holding area once the bot moves this to the approved page. Joseph2302 (talk) 11:43, 7 July 2021 (UTC)
Adding DYK tick, because the bot doesn't read the other tick. Joseph2302 (talk) 16:02, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
- It appears that MrLinkinPark333 did not think that my comment above needs to be responded to. I shall thus amend the Barakat Al-Harthi myself. Schwede66 20:38, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
