... that Olympic taekwondo practitioner Yahya Al-Ghotany learned the sport "by chance" at a refugee camp?

Source: The Korea Times ("he and his family have been sheltering in the Azraq refugee camp ... It was there where he, the first in a family of seven children, discovered taekwondo 'by chance.' His friend at the camp told him about the taekwondo course offered by the Taekwondo Humanitarian Foundation (THF) in 2016. That is how he got into the sport, without knowing it would completely change his life.")

QPQ: - pending
Overall: review ongoing; Given that from the sources you know his age at a point in time, you may want to use the template that allows you to identify his birth year range (and age range I believe) within the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:7000:2101:AA00:EDD1:6EEC:9F54:77B2 (talk) 7:26, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

@BeanieFan11: Please address the above and provide the QPQ. Z1720 (talk) 00:31, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@BeanieFan11: This nomination has been open for more than a week and a QPQ has not been supplied. The review indicated that a QPQ was necessary, and I sent a ping two days ago; the editor has been editing on other pages but has not supplied the QPQ. Per WP:QPQ, I am marking this nomination for closure. Z1720 (talk) 04:01, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- I'll make sure to get it done later today. BeanieFan11 (talk) 12:28, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  - @2603:7000:2101:AA00:EDD1:6EEC:9F54:77B2: Apologies for the delay. QPQ added. It seems someone else did the age part. BeanieFan11 (talk) 15:51, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Review needs to be completed now that QPQ is submitted. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 22:02, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Confirmed that the QPQ is completed, and that the article still adheres to DYK criteria checked in the original review. This is good to go. Flibirigit (talk) 16:22, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Conflicting sources on birthdate

Olympics.com says he was born in 2004 and a news article there further specifies: "[...] he takes to the mat on 8 August, just a day shy of his 20^th birthday." 9 Aug 2004.

But,
the website for Paris 2024 states instead "Date of Birth: 9 Aug 2003".

And what now? I haven't checked the sources on the article beyond Olympics.com because I'm going to sleep soon, I just wanted to bring up this new info. — Mignof (talk | contribs) 01:45, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
