General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited:   - ?
  • Interesting:  
QPQ: Done.

Overall:   Article was moved to mainspace on June 18, and nominated the same day. Length and sourcing are adequate. Article is neutral in tone. No plagiarism issues detected. Images used in the article are properly licensed on the Commons. QPQ requirement is met. All hooks are reasonably interesting, and mentioned in the article. My only concerned is that the cited source states "W Motors, the first Arab carmarker". This seems to reference the Arab world instead of the Middle East. These are similar but not the same. Is there a simple adjustment which could be made, or are there sources which specifically stated first carmaker in the Middle East? Flibirigit (talk) 02:51, 20 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

@Flibirigit: JapaneseCarTrade.com specifies Middle East, as does A-1 Auto Transport, and the the company's history page. Hopefully that should address the hook (I'd probably go with the original but it depends on the length restrictions).

Is it possible to add those other sources to this article to support the claim of Middle East? Flibirigit (talk) 05:09, 20 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
