:These are valid as well. However, looking at the official name, it still appears as though "Hussars of Junín" is the nickname, with the official unit name being "Cavalry Regiment № 1 Liberator of Peru". Perhaps the article creator could clarify? If it does turn out to be part of the official name and not a nickname, I would prefer a change that remains close to the original. I also believe "decisive participation" is probably clear enough, with "decisive" being a common word used to describe a unit, tactic, maneuver, etc. that turned the tide of a battle.

- ... that the decisive participation of a cavalry unit in the Battle of Junín gave them the nickname of Hussars of Junín? Source: Andina (news agency): Húsares de Junín changing of the guard to be declared national cultural heritage

Article length and age are fine, no copyvio or plagiarism concerns. There are two paragraphs (Origin Paragraph III and 20th century Paragraph I) that lack citations, which will need to be corrected. The infobox could be shortened, but that's just personal taste and won't affect the nomination. Lastly, while "gave them the nickname of" works, perhaps "led them to be nicknamed the" might flow better. Other than that, so long as one of the two nominators has previously nominated less than five articles, this should be good to go once citation issues are addressed.

- Additional notes: "Peruvian" could be specified, and "cavalry unit" could be linked. Making:

Perfect! I see not reason why this shouldn't go straight through. Krisgabwoosh (talk) 04:17, 14 August 2022 (UTC)

@2x2leax and Krisgabwoosh: The article says that the unit was renamed to Hussars of Junín, not that it was a nickname. Also, I'm not sure what "decisive participation" means, so I am suggesting some ALT hooks below:
- ALT2a: ... that a Peruvian cavalry unit was renamed the Hussars of Junín after participating in the Battle of Junín?
- ALT2b: ... that Simón Bolívar renamed the Hussars of Junín after their participation in the Battle of Junín?
