QPQ: No - maybe
Overall: The main problem is that the article is not long enough, only 748 characters. In order to be approved, the article must be expanded in the next 6 days. Other issues: According to Bailey (p 18), Qasim was born in 1883. Moreover, the link which points to the picture source on commons gives a 404 error, so the copyright tag cannot be verified. The same for the qpq (not done) since the qpq check is currently down. Alex2006 (talk) 08:46, 11 January 2020 (UTC)

  • I added another source and translated some stuff from the German Wikipedia article, which is much longer. As for the DOB, I went with the 1870s one since the number of attestations to that outnumber the 1880s one. – Illegitimate Barrister (talkcontribs), 09:20, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
