General: Article is new enough and long enough

Policy compliance:

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: No - ?
  • Interesting: Yes

QPQ: No - Unsure
Overall: @Mhhossein: While this is an interesting nomination, only one source mentioned in the article spells her name the same way as it is written in the nomination. The Persian language source is used twice, although it is the same, and it mentions "the 'girl in the pink jacket'", which seems to make more grammatical sense in the English language. The article needs more citations from reliable sources. The Atlantic Council source written by Holly Dagres does not mention her name, nor the number of casualties, so different sources should be used to support the lead. What was written by Dagres, although used as a source, is not really mentioned in the article. Although this event was an incredibly sad one, there is not a source I could find on the article that mentions her as a symbol, or a "poignant symbol" as it says in the article. The unveiling of the artwork is unnecessarily mentioned two separate times in the same section. Aneirinn (talk) 18:16, 16 January 2025 (UTC)

    • Some things in the article have been fixed now. I don’t think "the girl in pink jacket" makes sense grammatically. A more appropriate title would be 'girl in the pink jacket' or the 'girl with a pink jacket'. Concerning her name, I think Soltaninejad is a common way her surname is spelled in English. I’ve also seen Soltani-Nejad, "Soltan-Nejad", however, seems unlikely. Has a QPQ been completed? Aneirinn (talk) 15:03, 17 January 2025 (UTC)
@Mhhossein: Per a rule change several months ago, QPQs now have to be provided at the time of the nomination rather than up to a week after. Please provide a QPQ as soon as possible, as the nomination will be closed if one is not provided. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 09:07, 23 January 2025 (UTC)
@Narutolovehinata5: Thanks for the heads up; I was not aware of such a recent rule. I will soon provide a QPQ. --Mhhossein talk 11:03, 23 January 2025 (UTC)
  • @Aneirinn: Thanks for the review and the points. The QPQ is already provided. There's a verification tag added by you. Do you still think there are challenging portions in the text required to be supported by reliable sources? --Mhhossein talk 12:15, 23 January 2025 (UTC)
    • I do think more citations are needed. Only 3 sources in the article actually mention her. Two from the Tehran Times and one from the Iranian Students' News Agency. Usually, to establish WP:Notability more would be required. Are there more articles about her in Farsi that could be added? Is there anything that mentions what words were written on the body bag in Farsi? If so, this would be helpful as it could be translated to see if it actually says "girl in pink jacket" or "girl in the pink jacket", or "girl with a pink jacket". A source mentioning her as a symbol would also be needed to run this specific hook. Per WP:Verifiability, the source by Dagres would need to be moved somewhere else as it cannot be used to verify what precedes it as it does not mention her name.

      • Thanks for the explanations Aneirinn. I will try to find more sources but please notice that the source by Dagres is mentioning the only girl in pink jacket killed in the incident. --Mhhossein talk 13:44, 3 February 2025 (UTC)
        • It can be used as a source, but cannot be placed where it was. It would just have to be moved as it cannot be used to verify what precedes it — "Reyhaneh was identified by her distinctive pink jacket" — because Dagres does not mention her name. Aneirinn (talk) 19:29, 3 February 2025 (UTC)
          • Aneirinn: Would you please check the progress? --Mhhossein talk 14:11, 8 February 2025 (UTC)
            • @Mhhossein The source that was recently added is the answer to many questions. It does mention that she is a symbol. For the hook, how about this?
  • ALT1:... that Reyhaneh Soltaninejad, the girl in the pink jacket, became a symbol of the 2024 Kerman terrorist attacks after being identified by her distinctive pink jacket and heart earrings? Aneirinn (talk) 06:10, 10 February 2025 (UTC)
Thanks, Aneirinn. I agree with your suggestion. I made a bold edit and linked the 2024 attacks to its page. --Mhhossein talk 19:00, 18 February 2025 (UTC)
