Reviewing... DTM (talk) 08:51, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The article meets basic DYK requirements. Earwigs Copyvio and Duplication Detector checks seem ok. Both of the hooks are interesting, referenced, cited inline and can be used; I like ALT0 more because it can relate to a larger audience though ALT1 is a powerful statement too. (Just noting that there is more online coverage of Madhosh Balhami. Prad Nelluru, you could try and expand and sort out the article more, though not a DYK requirement.) QPQ not required. gtg DTM (talk) 09:22, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks you for your review! I think both alts have similar power and poignancy. I'm fine with either. There do seem to be more articles referencing him; I'll see if they have extra info and incorporate it. Prad Nelluru (talk) 13:45, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
