The nomination is now more than a week old without any QPQs provided. Please make sure to do this within a week from now. The nomination could be marked for closure as per the recent RFC on time limits to supply QPQs. Flibirigit (talk) 05:39, 24 August 2020 (UTC)

Noted, will do two qpqs as required.

I think the current hook is SYNTH and shouldn't be accepted; but lets see what the reviewer says. Only the first part of the hook can be used if needed —

ALT2:... that Farooq Khan headed the special operations group in Kashmir which helped kill over 2000 militants between 1994-96?

QPQ done. DTM (talk) 10:59, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for submitting the QPQs. A full review is still needed for this nomination. Flibirigit (talk) 16:47, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

I agree that the first two hooks can't be used, but I can approve ALT2. The article has been expanded enough in time and is neutral with no copyright violations. The hook is cited. A QPQ has been completed. DiplomatTesterMan I'm just making sure that you don't want to find a way to make it into a double hook before I approve ALT2. SL93 (talk) 15:18, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

SL93, I am ok with ALT2. I have cut ALT0 and ALT1 myself. thanks. DTM (talk) 06:23, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
