Comment: Time permitting I might be able to write the mother's article - a notable specialist in Arabic literature - and add to the nomination. Sergei Kirpichenko has been in the RD section of the mainpage, and as such is still eligible for DYK, see DYK rules#Eligibility criteria 1d. (update - Valeriya Kirpichenko written and added).

An interesting family! All three articles are new enough, long enough, neutral, and well referenced. The hook is interesting and supported by Russian source, accepted AGF. Three QPQs are done. No copyvio issues. Good to go. -Zanhe (talk) 00:12, 12 September 2019 (UTC)
