  • New enough, long enough, plenty neutral and well-cited. Hook fact is directly cited and checks out from machine translation of the cited source. Assume good faith that the process of translating the Bengali Wikipedia article which paraphrases the Bengali sources has ironed out any close paraphrasing concerns. QPQ not needed as nominator's second article. Promoter may want to abbreviate the unit of measurement to help shorten the hook. DigitalIceAge (talk) 16:57, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@FaysaLBinDaruL and DigitalIceAge: What is the record that Uddin set? Was it a world record, country record, or something else? Also, can this hook be shorter? I don't think "in Lahore in 1966" needs to be specified, as the hook already says it was at the 10th Pakistan Games. Z1720 (talk) 18:11, 28 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Z1720: It was a country record. You can make the hook shorter, you are welcome, if it is good for Wikipedia.FaysaLBinDaruL (talk) 18:34, 28 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I also removed the wikilink to bamboo per MOS:OVERLINK as I think most readers know what bamboo is. (Now if there's a link to a bamboo pole vaulting pole, that might be considered.) Thoughts? Z1720 (talk) 19:01, 28 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Z1720:ALT0b sounds good!FaysaLBinDaruL (talk) 19:33, 28 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
