Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: - Offline/paywalled citation accepted in good faith
Interesting:
QPQ: None required.
Overall: Article meets eligibility criteria for DYK (newness, length). The article is well sourced. It was recently promoted to WP:ITNRD after discussion at WP:ITNC, so, will lean in on the sourcing checks done there as well. Copvio check is good. Hook as well as the corresponding source is linked to Jang, a Pakistani newspaper. Unfortunately, the text is in urdu. So, will WP:AGF on the source. Can I request the editor to paste a translation of the source's sentence as a part of the DYK nomination so that it can be captured? Alternately, if there is a different editor who can read Urdu, that would help as well. This is the nominator's first DYQ submission and will not need a qpq. Made a minor edit on the hook -- see if this agreeable.
* ALT1... that 50 books from a total of over 150 books authored by Pakistani historian Abu Salman Shahjahanpuri are about the Indian scholar and independence activist Abul Kalam Azad? Ktin (talk) 07:51, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
Ktin, This jang source] says that Abu Salman is an exemplar personality in academic history, who wrote the most books about his subject, Abul Kalam Azad; which count more than 50. The Urdu portion is ابو سلمان علمی تاریخ کی واحد مثال ہیں جنہوں نے اپنے ممدوح ابو الکلام پر سب سے زیادہ کتابیں لکھ ڈالیں، جن کی مجموعی تعداد 50 سے زائد ہے۔. The second source says that, he wrote more than 150 books. : 150 سے زائد کتابوں کے مصنف ابو سلمان شاہجہان پوری چل بسے - (transl. Author of more than 150 books passes away). I hope it is helpful. Your proposed hook looks fine to me. Since, his total books are more than 150, and the books about Azad are more than 50; I've taken the average, 150 (total) and 50 (about Azad).

TheAafi, Thanks. I think this should be good. For good measure, I have requested an Urdu editor support here. If we do not find someone in a couple of days, I will approve this hook based on your translation. Hope that works. Ktin (talk) 08:12, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
Wow, you managed to ping me right as I was about to close my laptop and go to bed! Anyway, yes, the translations look fine to me. Thanks for the ping. M Imtiaz (talk · contribs) 08:22, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
Ktin, Yes, this is a good translation and I support the nomination.Obaid Raza (talk) 08:27, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
