Could you point me to the exact part of the article that supports the hook fact? QPQ outstanding too. Generally seems long and new enuf, but I'm not sure how much of that is cobbled off the supposed slogans themselves (not all of which have citations) and/or quotes - the "encyclopedic" material seems skimpy...

At first glance, the article appears to be well-sourced, but there are many issues here. First, having looked at the very first slogan, the linked article says nothing about "you dog of four stars". Second, almost all of the citations are from secondary sources; the first citation, for example, references many other sources (books, journals), and those are what should be used here. Third, I think it should be moved to List of slogans of the Iranian Revolution, as the entire "Analysis" section is merely plagiarized from a single BBC article — please see Wikipedia:Plagiarism#Translating for how translating isn't enough. Fourth, I'm not entirely sure if a phrase being used once at a single rally would make it a "slogan of the revolution". Fifth, I don't think Fars News Agency is considered a reliable source. Lastly, after having looked at this article and its author just now, I'm personally concerned about the author's unresolved NPOV issues on this subject.

- @Kingoflettuce and Peepeepedia: I have to note that Championmin doesn't appear to have any prior DYK nominations, so a QPQ is not needed in any case. However, they haven't edited since the 18th and did not respond to the concerns raised above, so if they do not return and address the concerns, I second the motion to close this.
