Comment: Two issues with the draft. Firstly, the tone isn't quite right. The Wikipedia voice should not assert anything, but there are several contentious statements throughout, such as "Their personal photos have been spread online in a smear campaign", and "but the request was ignored and Zhala Bayramova was subject to harassment from the election committee instead". The treatment of Zhala is genuinely horrific but Wikipedia needs to stay neutral.Secondly, the sources seem to mostly be trivial mentions or interviews, neither of which confer notability under WP:NPERSON. I'd like to see some secondary sources that offer analysis/interpretation that are not interviews. Qcne (talk) 09:57, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
