• Drive-by comment: What is an attested poet? Please rephrase that. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 21:10, 27 October 2020 (UTC)
• Yoninah, thanks! Basically attested means 'known' or 'historically verified', so something like this?

• Here is a full review: New enough, long enough, neutrally written, adequately referenced. As all sources are foreign-language, unable to check for close paraphrasing. I have struck most of the hooks because they follow the formula "Did you know that ... X=Y?" ALT1 is far more interesting and hooky. Foreign language hook ref AGF and cited inline. QPQ done. There is just the matter of one quote which I tagged as needing a cite. The DYK credit lines for creator credits look fine. Yoninah (talk) 20:15, 28 October 2020 (UTC)

• Yoninah Added cite for quote. Lajmmoore (talk) 20:43, 28 October 2020 (UTC)

• Thank you. ALT1 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 20:48, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
