@John B123: I fear this may be a misguided speedy deletion. I wrote the article from scratch using a series of reliable third party sources. Any previous deletion discussions are not relevant. Would you kindly remove the tag? :) --Coin945 (talk) 13:12, 20 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Coin945: The previous AfD determined that the subject was not notable enough for a Wikipedia article, so is relevant. The 'reliable third party sources' seem to stem from search results on https://www.ebsco.com/ which is a membership site so cannot easily be verified. --John B123 (talk) 13:25, 20 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@John B123: I can see what you're saying, however this is an edutainment game from 1996, so while it was heavily covered back in the day, the sources are not readily available through a Google search, which it appears they did for the previous AFD to assertain notability. I have had to utilise the Ebsco database via the WP:The Wikipedia Library to be able to access those dormant sources. I invite you to sign up for The Wikipedia Library yourself and double check my work. (I have now fixed the citations which will make them easy to relocate). You will see it's accurate. :)--Coin945 (talk) 13:36, 20 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

QPQ: Template:Did you know nominations/Qadi al-Fadil

Article created by Coin945 on January 20, 2022 (talk). Self-nominated at 16:27, 20 January 2022 (UTC).[reply]

Article creation date was recent enough, size is adequate, Copyvio score is very good and the hook is interesting while cited in-line properly, but you need to write "the" before Chicago Sun-Times and the source should have a title on this page; do this by using [ ] with the URL first. Also, the article is using an unreliable source in PR Newswire that has gotta go for it to meet the DYK eligibility and the QPQ needs an icon representing the verdict before it counts properly. K. Peake 22:04, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Note to Coin945 and K. Peake: the QPQ is not yet fully done—reviews are not considered complete until one of the review icons from the table above the edit window has been included as part of the review. I hope it will be completed soon. Thank you. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:19, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with you BlueMoonset and the detail of my possible vote has now been updated to reflect this. K. Peake 22:04, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the review @Kyle Peake: and @BlueMoonset:. I've posted my comments below: --Coin945 (talk) 22:52, 26 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
1. Added "the" before Chicago Sun-Times
2. Added title to source
3. Question: Why is the press release publisher PR Newswire unreliable?
4. Added icon to QPQ

Look at WP:RSP, where PR Newswire is clearly listed as unreliable. K. Peake 07:49, 3 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Kyle Peake: I've addressed this by removing all PR Newswire links.--Coin945 (talk) 12:59, 3 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Coin945: Everything seems good now, this should be ready for promotion to DYK! K. Peake 21:38, 3 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
