@Surtsicna: Thank you for starting these. I will review shortly. Al Ameer (talk) 19:55, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Surtsicna: Had the pleasure of reading these articles, all of which are well-sourced and well-written. Dates and lengths are fine. There's one citation (Mayer 1985) in Lordship of Beirut that is missing the source in the Bibliography, unless this was a typo for Mayer 1990 which should be corrected. Other than that, you have 2 additional QPQ's that need to be done (you are showing 1 out of the required 3 currently) then we are good to pass this nom.

As an aside, I am glad someone started Lordship of Beirut; it would be good to incorporate some information there about Beirut's immediate neighbors in the hills, the Buhturids, with whom the Lordship both cooperated and fought against for much of its existence.

That Mayer mistake is well spotted, Al Ameer. I have no idea what I wanted to cite there. I replaced it with another citation. I see now that Nickerson writes about Beirut's neighbors in the cited article. It would be a good addition. The QPQ shown is a triple hook, which neatly covers this triple hook.

@Surtsicna: Excellent. Happy to pass and looking forward to more. Regards Al Ameer (talk) 14:54, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Al Ameer, I am adding another article to the nomination: Beatrice Brisebarre. The QPQ is Ívar Bárðarson. It's a quick read. I hope you can give it a go :) Surtsicna (talk) 10:13, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

With new QPQ done, the additional nominated article is good to go (length and sourcing all check out and no issues of note detected). —Al Ameer (talk) 19:06, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
