• Article was created on the 16th, so is new enough. At ~2700 characters, it is long enough and reads neutrally. Quite a lot of expansion of the article is available, considering the crowding of sources, but that can be a future endeavor. The hook is the confusing part. There's no direct language about a coded language or secret language in the article, including where the given source is used. And since the hook needs to have said citation in the same sentence it is used in, that's something that needs to be fixed before this nomination can be approved. Other than that, I think the conciseness of Alt1 is better. And the QPQ has been done. The only thing waiting here is to have the hook info and reference actually directly used in the article in some manner. Can you fix that, RAJIVVASUDEV? Silverseren^C 18:36, 21 January 2023 (UTC)

@Silver seren Thanks for the review. I have added ALT2 and the required citations as well. Regards RV (talk) 04:27, 22 January 2023 (UTC)

I don't think Alt2 is necessary. The text doesn't have to be exactly what's used in the article, just close enough and with the in-line citations. So I still think Alt1 is valid and is more interesting. Are you okay with that? Silverseren^C 04:38, 22 January 2023 (UTC)

@Silver seren Yes, I am okay with ALT1 as it reads. Regards RV (talk) 04:43, 22 January 2023 (UTC)

Approve ALT1 Okay, everything looks good to go. Silverseren^C 04:46, 22 January 2023 (UTC)
