The article is new enough (created on 23 December 2022; nominated on 27 December 2022).
The article is long enough (more than 1,500 characters of readable prose even before my small additions).
The article seems free of copyvios; Earwig didnot pick up any issues.
The article is sourced and the quality of sources seems good enough. The İslâm Ansiklopedisi is an academic encyclopaedia and "The Ottoman World" is published by a well-known academic publisher. As I was not at all familiar with either the topic or this literary field in general, I checked the content a little more than usual against the sources and discovered no issues.
QPQ is done.
The original hook is interesting and hooky. I prefer it much more than ALT1.
The hook is short enough, but a little bit on the long side (190 characters).
