Nominated a bit too late but willing to IAR on it. No prose issues in the article. There are a lot of hooks to choose from. Shorter hooks tend to be less boring, and I don't think the mention of Gürdal Duyar is super necessary. All of the hooks are approved, but kinda like ALT0 and ALT4(b) the most by a small margin. Entirely on the promoter to decide. Photo is properly licensed and can go on the main page. ~Styyx^Talk? 20:25, 14 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
