This can be promoted to the DYK queue once a quid pro quo review has been done. Verified that the article is long enough, that there are no plagiarism concerns through the Copyvios tool and spotchecking, and that the hook is sourced in the article. Cunard (talk) 10:49, 7 April 2019 (UTC)

In addition to the QPQ, the hook is a sea of blue. I don't think you need to say Nawab of Bhopal at all, because no one will know what that is anyway. Yoninah (talk) 18:33, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

I looked over the article and did a light edit for English grammar. Please add a parenthetical definition or translation of the foreign terms under Architecture. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 18:44, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

@Yoninah: In the lead you have added "the" before "Nawab of Bhopal". However, this is not correct. Nawab of Bhopal is a primarily a title and not a post. In FAs like Henry III of England, George VI or even Elizabeth II, this "the" is not present. Moti Masjid, Moti Mahal and Shaukat Mahal are all proper nouns. Moti Masjid means pearl mosque, Moti Mahal means pearl palace. However they must not be taken literally i.e. it is not necessary that they are made of pearl. For example the Moti Masjid in red fort is made of marble. So I think litaral translation is not required. RRD (talk) 16:32, 10 April 2019 (UTC)

@Royroydeb: I deleted the "the". Regarding the other names, they look like Greek to a non-native speaker. Please put something in parenthesis to tell us what they are. Yoninah (talk) 19:08, 10 April 2019 (UTC)

@Yoninah: Brackets have been added. RRD (talk) 11:46, 14 April 2019 (UTC)

Thank you. Restoring tick per Cunard's review. Yoninah (talk) 16:56, 14 April 2019 (UTC)

Redflag-I have removed two of the most-exploited sources for failing WP:HISTRS. ∯WBG^converse 05:34, 15 April 2019 (UTC)

@Winged Blades of Godric: can this be promoted now? Yoninah (talk) 14:21, 8 May 2019 (UTC)

What precisely has been sourced (or removed) post my source-removals? ∯WBG^converse 16:05, 8 May 2019 (UTC)

OK, I removed the Shahryar source and cite per your edit note. The Two Circles cite is directing to a website for sale. The Telegraph, the Economic Times, and the Governor of Madhya Pradesh sources are reliable, but now the article has only 3 sources. Perhaps there are other reliable sources in foreign languages?
Several paragraphs are now unsourced, and that first paragraph under Reign also needs more citations for all the information it contains. The hook fact does not have an inline cite. Yoninah (talk) 18:57, 8 May 2019 (UTC)

@Yoninah: Unfortunately, I cannot find other reliable sources in google books or archive.org to cite the claims. There are some snippets in google books which are not enough. Probably, this nomination needs to be closed. RRD (talk) 16:12, 9 May 2019 (UTC)

Withdrawn by candidate. ——SerialNumber54129 16:13, 9 May 2019 (UTC)
