Overall: 
Article was new enough when nominated, is just long enough (~1900 characters of readable prose), and shows no signs of plagiarism of online sources when run through Earwig's tool. There are citations to support the article's claims throughout. The language is sometimes excessively promotional and needs to be cleaned up. The hook proposals are all variations of the same thing, which is interesting and is supported by a citation; I like ALT0 the best and am lightly editing it for clarity.

- I'll fix it. Give me three days or so. --Moscow Connection (talk) 15:15, 15 May 2019 (UTC)
- @Bryanrutherford0: I've toned the article down a bit and I've requested a copyedit (at Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Requests). I didn't want the article to sound promotional, it's just the way I write...
I've also removed the link to the music video. (I really didn't want to do it cause the music video illustrated the reason for Samra's arrest in Prague. Sadly, I can't find a source for the music video they were shooting in Prague being "Cataleya" and therefore I can't mention the song in that paragraph, but I think it's kind of obvious if you watch it. Anyway, I would really want to put the link back but I can promise I won't do it until after the article appears on the main page.)
And just in case... If you don't like the "at age 23" part, I can explain that I didn't remove it because that was the only mention of Samra's age in the entire article. I can't find a good source for him being born in 1995... Actually, the photo in the article about his arrest says "born 15.01.1995 in Berlin", but the actual name is wiped out so we can't be sure if the document is addressed to him. --Moscow Connection (talk) 20:59, 26 May 2019 (UTC)
- The problem wasn't the reference to the subject's age but the language of excitement and celebration ("scored"), which has now been removed. The article now meets the standard for DYK. Cheers! -Bryanrutherford0 (talk) 15:14, 27 May 2019 (UTC)
