• New enough, long enough, well referenced and neutral. No apparent close paraphrasing from the English sources I can access. The hook is interesting and its separate parts are all cited. QPQ is done. 97198 (talk) 02:23, 1 September 2019 (UTC)

• Hi, I came by to promote this, and while the first hook facts check out, I don't see anything about being knighted. Even the Wikipedia article on the nobility title doesn't mention knighting. Do you want to tweak the wording to say that the king conferred a title of nobility on him? Yoninah (talk) 01:14, 2 September 2019 (UTC)

• Template:Re Here's the quote from the book linked above: "Tsao was conferred Tan Sri, a knighthood, by the king of Malaysia." "Knighted" is shorter and hookier than "conferred a title of nobility". "Tan Sri" is the Malaysian equivalent of the European knighthood, see also this book. -Zanhe (talk) 03:38, 2 September 2019 (UTC)

• Thanks, Template:U. I just wanted the article and hook to say the same thing so the queue checkers won't question it. Hook ref verified and cited inline. Restoring tick per 97198's review. Yoninah (talk) 10:48, 2 September 2019 (UTC)
