Ready for the mainspace?

@Cazza3012@GiantSnowman Hello! I just wanted to say that I've expanded the draft and double-checked all the sources I've inserted, so now the page should include enough information and independent coverage to be moved to the mainspace. What do you think about it?

Also, I think @Snowflake91 could help us massively here, given his deep knowledge of Slovenian football.

I've expanded the article a little bit, and added this source, which is in-depth coverage with 4 paragraps only about him from the local newspaper, should be notable. Snowflake91 (talk) 12:30, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Snowflake91 That's fine, thank you! Oltrepier (talk) 14:41, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

... that Ester Sokler once claimed that he was named after a song by a Slovenian rock band? Source: Translated and re-adapted from Slovenske novice: "Why my parents chose [to call me] Ester? I think [I was born] around the time Mi2's song 'Moja teta Estera' came out", the striker revealed.
- ALT1: ... that Ester Sokler once claimed that he has often been mistaken for a woman? Source: Translated and re-adapted from Slovenske novice: "If I'm not wrong, I'm the only man in Slovenia whose name is Ester; I've been mistaken for a woman many times".

- Comment: I'm not sure if this could be "April Fool material", but at least it should be a nice, quirky hook to giggle at. Thanks to Snowflake91 for providing this bit of information and moving the article to the mainspace; GiantSnowman and Cazza3012 also deserve credit for creating the page in the first place. I hope I'll be able to get my own QPQ review over the line as soon as possible.

Moved to mainspace by Snowflake91 (talk). Nominated by Oltrepier (talk) at 14:28, 28 June 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Ester Sokler; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

Article is new in the Mainspace, long enough and neutral. It cites sources inline. Most of the references are (in Slovene). "Earwig's Copyvio Detector" reports little text similarities in English-language sources, and comments "violation unlikely". Both hooks are well-formatted and interesting. Their fact is accurate with inline source, which is (in Slovene). I AGF. QPQ was done. Good to go by AGF. CeeGee 09:13, 5 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
