Created by Soman (talk). Self-nominated at 16:55, 30 September 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Mohammed Khalid Roashan; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
New enough, long enough, and no obvious issues with the article itself. Hook is cited and checks out. QPQ done. My only concern is that it's not particularly interesting for a prominent foreign politician to have studied in the United States: could you perhaps suggest a few alts, ideally of things a little more unusual or notable?

Approved AGF: source isn't available where I am (I'd suggest adding it to this nomination for the benefit of the promoting admin). UndercoverClassicist T·C 19:15, 29 October 2023 (UTC)
Date of Death
editAt [1] it is reported that date of death would have been August 24, 2007, and the grave located in Snohomish, Washington. But this is clearly not WP:RS. -- Soman (talk) 16:58, 30 September 2023 (UTC)
- In the absence of any secondary sources about Roashan after 2007 (no obituary in a local paper anyone can find?), that photograph would seem to be a pretty solid primary source, and not dependent on the BillionGraves crowdsourced interpretation. (Also supported by this Ancestry record, which may be a bit more reliable.) Gabrielbodard (talk) 10:01, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
