Improved to Good Article status by Nehme1499 (talk). Self-nominated at 21:39, 8 July 2019 (UTC).

Article was promoted to GA status within the last seven days, is over the required prose size and has no copyvio concerns. The first ref verifies the use of the nickname, the second is in Arabic so AGF for that one but it's not a stretch to see where it comes from. QPQ checker indicates this is the user's first DYK so no review is required. Good to go. Kosack (talk) 10:16, 10 July 2019 (UTC)

Hi, I came by to promote this, but I don't see the hook fact in either of the inline sources (footnotes 2 and 3). Also, there are no sources for the information in the charts under "Competitive record". Yoninah (talk) 22:33, 5 August 2019 (UTC)

@Yoninah: Footnote 2 reads "...with the Lady Cedars holding on to equal their best ever finish at the tournament". Footnote 3 reads "صبايا الأرز تهز شباك هونغ كونغ بسداسية نظيفة" (translation: The Lady Cedars shake the Hong Hong net six times). The implication of the nickname deriving from the country's national symbol is obvious. All national team GAs don't have the "Competitive record" section sourced: see Croatia national football team or Central African Republic women's national football team, for example.

@Nehme1499: But neither of those sources specifically says that they're called the Lady Cedars because of the Lebanese Cedar. Without a source, it's OR. OK on the competitive record. Yoninah (talk) 22:45, 5 August 2019 (UTC)

@Yoninah: I see, because it’s impossible to find a source stating the reason for such a nickname. I might be able to find something for the male’s NT (The Cedars), would that work? Nehme₁₄₉₉ (talk) 22:54, 5 August 2019 (UTC)

@Nehme1499: No, this article is about the women. I suggest you comment out the sentence in the article for now and look for another fact for the DYK hook. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 23:04, 5 August 2019 (UTC)

@Yoninah: Done Nehme₁₄₉₉ (talk) 14:30, 6 August 2019 (UTC)

Thank you, ALT3 is a nice hook. But while the inline cite confirms that it was their first qualification round, it doesn't mention the 7 years part. At the beginning of this section, you say the team was formed in 2005, which would be 9 years. Yoninah (talk) 22:00, 11 August 2019 (UTC)

@Yoninah: Sorry you are right, I miscounted: it is eight years (inception in 2005, qualification matches in 2013 for the 2014 tournament). As for the source, we could add the one that states that they were formed in 2005, I don't think that simple maths would be considered OR. Nehme₁₄₉₉ (talk) 23:07, 11 August 2019 (UTC)

@Yoninah: Hey, I was just wondering if you were still interested in reviewing this nomination. If so, what should be changed to make it pass? Thanks, Nehme₁₄₉₉ (talk) 22:44, 1 September 2019 (UTC)

Sorry for the delay. ALT3 hook refs verified and AGF, both cited inline. Rest of review per Kosack. ALT3 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 22:51, 1 September 2019 (UTC)
