  • Hmmm this borderline reads like an advert but not so much that it's a red flag. Otherwise the article is new and long enough, hook is interesting and supported by an accessible albeit Arabic source, and no evidence of copyright violation. QPQ has been done. Should be alright! Might note that there's a bit of date format inconsistency, by the way. Kingoflettuce (talk) 02:38, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
    • @Kingoflettuce, Lajmmoore, and Silver seren: hmm—I'd be borderline fine with the hook if it rested on sturdy sourcing, but one seems to be a PR service (issuu's red marketing services) and two more read pretty promotionally. are there better sources to show due weight? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 09:59, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
"Issu's Red Marketing Services"
???? First off, Issuu is just a PDF hosting service. Second, Woman This Month is an actual published Bahraini magazine. It isn't a PR service. The other sources are in well known newspapers. SilverserenC 23:55, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
Leeky probably misunderstood "Red House Marketing" as some PR arm of issuu. In any case, the simple facts referred to in the hook aren't controversial in the slightest, so it shouldn't be a problem. Kingoflettuce (talk) 01:28, 3 February 2022 (UTC)
Yeah, I took Red House Marketing as the author of the material, although I knew issuu was a hosting service. My issuu (yes, I'm sorry) was also that these sources look pretty biased to me; but that doesn't seem to be a reason to hold up the nom, since it looks neutral enough. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 02:03, 3 February 2022 (UTC)
I thought it was OK since the hook referred to things that were very much "objective". Kingoflettuce (talk) 22:19, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
