Khumarawayh ibn Ahmad ibn Tulun

 * Symbol voting keep.svg New enough (5x expanded 3 days before nom). Long enough (article far exceeds 1500b prose).  Is written in neutral manner (although excessive living is a dominant theme, the article explores causes and reasons for this, as well as the beneficial effects to arts and culture).  Every paragraph contains inline citations to reliable sources.  No paraphrasing or other copyvio issues detected.  I approved original hook, as I find it most interesting.  The hook is directly tied to a cited source, which is AGF as it is behind a paywall.  Not a living person.   QPQ is complete, and there is no image to check.  Interesting article on a highly notable topic, this deserves and has earned mainspace exposure.   78.26  (spin me / revolutions) 16:27, 22 October 2015 (UTC)
