... that Jamil Mihhu, contesting the Beirut II constituency in the 1968 election, was the first Kurd to run for office in Lebanon?

:*Article: New w/in 5 days of nomination. Long enough at 2100 characters. Neutral. References are excellent. All three sources are hard-copy with google books links, so I didn't run the duplication detector; however, I read each reference, and found no close paraphrasing. I found the evidence for each statement in the article except the fact that Nasif was a Roman Catholic; the page that has this information is not viewable in google books. (Since every other reference checks out, I'm more than willing to AGF on this one.)

Hook: formatted correctly, interesting, accurate, and cited in-line to a source which verifies the claim.

Other: QPQ is there (though could be more thorough), no image to look at. I've done some copyediting at the article, and I've asked some folks about formatting the precise vote counts; but the article is ready to go as-is. Very nice, I think.Moishe Rosenbaum (talk) 22:41, 25 December 2012 (UTC)
