... that fourteenth-century Buddhist monk Tuệ Tĩnh is referred to as a founding father of traditional Vietnamese medicine? Source: de Vries (2022) & Thompson (2012)
Overall: Solid nomination. It's long enough at about 2,000 characters, and it's new enough (created November 27). I was able to directly verify the references to De Vries's and Leung's book chapters, and I will assume good faith for the other references I don't have ready access to. And while the average Wikipedian's knowledge of Vietnamese traditional medicine is not something that can be guessed, I think someone being a "founding father" of the tradition would be interesting to a curious reader. QPQ is complete, and the article had a staggering 0% score on Earwig, so copyvio seems very unlikely. As an aside, I don't think "a temple was built in honour of him during the mid-nineteenth century" needs to be couched as something a nineteenth-century source claims. The first part of that paragraph in Leung is quoting a nineteenth-century source, but the sentence about the temple built in Tuệ Tĩnh's honor is in Leung's own scholarly voice. But that's just advice; I don't think that's a serious enough issue to impede eligibility for Did You Know. All in all, the nomination qualifies. Nicely done!
