  •   The article is new enough. Although WP:DYKLEN does not address this, I am not happy when an article just barely meets the length requirements thanks to repeating a significant portion of its content in the lead pararaph or lead section. Without said repetition, this article contains about 1350 characters of prose. I also do not think that a minister opening a chess championship is particularly interesting.

  • @Surtsicna: Well, the thing is, it is what a lede is supposed to do, to summarize the basics, and while I try to keep the lede as necessarily short as possible, in this case the lede just happened to summarize the entire body in only a third of its size. And to be honest, I just found it unusual for a health minister to open a national chess championship during their tenure, which is why it felt interesting to have as a hook. ミラP@Miraclepine 22:32, 6 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Just wanted to note since this page is now at 1394 B (below the 1500 B minimum) due to MOS:LEADSTUB cleanup that I would like to expand the article on Friday or Saturday (when I have more time) or earlier in case it's possible to find a sufficiently interesting hook from there. ミラP@Miraclepine 03:55, 23 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Okay, I've expanded this article to 2322 B and this is the most hooky I can get, but it's borderline and 199 characters, so if ALT0 to 2 aren't enough, I can withdraw this nom.
Hope this help. ミラP@Miraclepine 01:12, 27 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
The article looks much more substantial now. There is some fluff, however. I do not think it is encyclopedically vital to note that she congratulated someone on election, or that she attended a memorial service. The bit about her donating money might be seen as promotional. And what was she congratulated for at the chess championship? ALT1 is an improvement, but I wonder if something could be done with the counterfeit prescription scandal. That sounds intriguing.

@Surtsicna: If it helps, at the least they were covered by national mainstream media outlets. And the congratulation was at a different meeting, not the chess championship. I've expanded more on the counterfeit prescription scandal, but I gotta sleep now before I can cover the rest. ミラP@Miraclepine 04:11, 29 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Surtsicna: @Miraclepine: has done some more work on this. Would you able to check back into this?--Launchballer 15:46, 29 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Surtsicna: I've added more on the meeting with the Turkish health minister and the scandal. Not sure on this, but here's ALT3:
ALT3: ... that Northern Cypriot Minister of Health İzlem Gürçağ Altuğra wanted the country to have its first qualified pharmaceutical facility, saying "if we do not produce, we will be destroyed"? Source: “Kendi ülkemizde, nitelikli, işe yarayan ilaç fabrikası görmek istiyorum. Çağrımı yineliyorum” vurgusunu yapan ... Altuğra, “Üretmezsek yok oluruz; kendi ülkemizde ilaç fabrikamızı kurmak zorundayız” dedi./Emphasizing that “I want to see a qualified, working pharmaceutical factory in our own country. I reiterate my call,” Altuğra ... said, “If we do not produce, we will be destroyed; we have to establish our own pharmaceutical factory in our own country.”
Hope this helps. ミラP@Miraclepine 17:43, 29 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
Did the opposition have anything to say about her in the context of the scandal? Political biographies can easily veer off into bias. And I think I have a good hook:
ALT4: ... that Northern Cypriot Minister of Health İzlem Gürçağ Altuğra warned that her country would be destroyed unless it started producing drugs?
What do you think? Surtsicna (talk) 19:24, 29 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Surtsicna: I couldn't find any such sources even in Turkish, so what should I remove, maybe the "witnessed the scandal's investigation with sadness" part? Oh, and the ALT4 looks good. ミラP@Miraclepine 00:24, 30 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Surtsicna: Just needed to remind you because this nom will time out on November 4 (two months after this DYK was submitted). ミラP@Miraclepine 03:45, 2 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

  Thanks, Miraclepine. Yes, I would lose the sadness part. I hope someone else can review ALT4 by 4 November if we are in agreement that it is the best one. If nobody does by 4 November, I choose ALT3 (sligthly amended). Surtsicna (talk) 15:55, 2 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Surtsicna: Done and that should be it for now. ミラP@Miraclepine 15:58, 2 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
  I believe ALT4 checks out in the sentence beginning "In October 2023", so ticking this off.--Launchballer 13:00, 3 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
