5x expanded by Beyoncetan 2 (talk). Self-nominated at 03:30, 4 May 2018 (UTC).

• Article was expanded within the time frame (in fact, I would suggest that the article be nominated for GA since it's likely to pass at this point), and is adequately sourced. Article is stable, free of plagiarism or copyvios, and has sufficiently licensed images. Some of the article's sources are in English but most are in Vietnamese; these are accepted AGF. As for the hooks, I've struck ALT0 due to BLP concerns and ALT1 due to lacking "hookiness" (i.e. interest to a broad audience); as such my preferences are ALT2 and ALT4. This will be good to go once a QPQ has been provided. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 03:02, 21 May 2018 (UTC)

• @Beyoncetan and Beyoncetan 2: It has been 10 days since I left my comments here, and I've left multiple messages on your talk page. Please provide a QPQ for this nomination to proceed. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 15:35, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

@Narutolovehinata5: I've provided a QPQ. Beyoncetan 2 (talk) 16:45, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

• Thanks. I've struck ALT5 since it focuses more on his father than he himself, which leaves the promoter with ALT2, ALT3, and ALT4 to choose from; personal preference would be fore either ALT2 or ALT4 since these would be more interesting to an international audience.
