The sources Sandhaanu.today and LoothShahid.blogspot.com are cited for historical context, eyewitness documentation, and verified archival material. They are not self-authored or promotional. Both are well-known independent Maldivian historical content sources that provide verifiable, non-controversial information relevant to the subject’s life and context.

Thank you very much for the previous review and feedback.

As requested, I have added reliable citations for the final sentence of the lead, supported by Saeed (2022), Maloney (1976), and Jeffery (2024), verifying the statement regarding Thinadhoo’s collective memory and historical significance. The sentence has also been slightly rephrased for clarity and neutrality.

All other sections and references have been reviewed and remain fully cited. The draft has now been resubmitted for re-review.

Thank you again for taking the time to review the draft.

Following the earlier revisions, additional improvements have now been made:

• Incorporated *Office of the Ombudsperson for Transitional Justice (OTJ)* 2022 hearings references in the **Collective punishment** section (PSM News, Sun.mv) to provide secondary confirmation of state documentation.

• Verified all internal links (Goidhoo, Ibrahim Ali Didi) and ensured all external links are policy-compliant.

• Added historically supported context about Manikfaanu’s collaboration with Prime Minister Ibrahim Ali Didi and the 1954 delegation to Ceylon to pay tribute to Queen Elizabeth II, supported by *Maloney (1980)* and *Saeed (2022)*.

All sources remain active and verifiable, and the article has been resubmitted for re-review.

@Discopinster: Just a quick note that the draft has now been moved to Draft:Hirihamaidhi Kaleyfaanu with all source corrections, image provenance updates, and new references added. It’s been formally resubmitted for AfC review. Thank you again for your earlier feedback — all concerns have been addressed in line with WP:V and WP:RS. —~~~~ Ahmed2753 (talk) 17:01, 10 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The article has been thoroughly revised for balance and neutrality. Language has been refined, and all claims are now supported by multiple reliable, published sources (Sandhaanu.today, Shafeega 2009, Jeffery 2024, etc.).

I believe the neutrality concern has been resolved and propose removing the neutrality tag unless there are further objections. Ahmed2753 (talk) 07:53, 19 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Obi2canibe: Thank you for reviewing the article and tagging it. I’d like to note that the notability and promotional concerns appear to have been addressed:

• The subject’s notability is supported by **multiple independent and reliable sources** that name him directly, including Fahala Saeed’s *Sandhaanu.today* article (2022), Aminath Shafeega’s academic publication (2009), R. Majid’s *Maldives Royal Family* historical documentation, and coverage from *One Online* (2019) and *Adhadhu* (2022).
• These sources establish his role in national history, the Thinadhoo depopulation, and his influence in civic and economic life.
• The article’s language has been refined for neutrality and factual accuracy, following Wikipedia’s WP:NPOV and WP:BIO guidelines.

If there are no further concerns, could the

and

tags be removed? I’ll wait a few days for additional input before proceeding.

Hi again, after going around the New Page submission process I still think this article needs more reliable sources and so at least the GNG tag should remain until that point. Moritoriko (talk) 23:32, 20 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Moritoriko: Thank you again for reviewing the article and for the helpful feedback. I completely understand your point about the need for strong independent coverage. The article now draws on several verifiable published sources — including

Sandhaanu.today

(2022), Aminath Shafeega’s academic publication (2009), and R. Majid’s

Maldives Royal Family

documentation — all of which name the subject directly and provide historical context for his civic and economic role.

These are independent, reliable publications that meet the requirements under [[WP:GNG]] for establishing historical notability. That said, I’ll continue looking for additional secondary sources to further strengthen the coverage and will leave the GNG tag in place for now until there’s clear consensus.

Thank you again for your time and thoughtful review — much appreciated.

Thank you for your continued engagement in this discussion.

You have addressed some issues previously brought up but you haven’t, to my knowledge, addressed the possible issue of using AI generated text in the article and in your Talk page messages. It is heavily preferred to not use such tools for communication and not really allowed for articles. I wanted to let you know in case you have been using them so you could stop. Moritoriko (talk) 06:23, 22 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Moritoriko: Thank you for your continued guidance — I completely understand your concern and appreciate the reminder.To clarify, all text in the article has been written and edited manually, based on the cited published sources (Sandhaanu.today, Shafeega 2009, Majid, One Online, etc.). Any earlier use of tools was strictly for grammar and formatting assistance, not for generating or paraphrasing unsourced material.

I’ll continue maintaining the article with full adherence to verifiability and human review. Thank you again for taking the time to look through it and for your constructive feedback. Ahmed2753 (talk) 10:20, 22 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have the non-AI version of the photos in the article? Moritoriko (talk) 14:25, 23 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Moritoriko: Thank you for following up.

These images originate from the Najeeb Family Archive and have also circulated online over the years. They were uploaded under the CC BY-SA 4.0 licence to ensure transparency and full documentation of provenance.

A formal permissions release has been sent by the Najeeb family to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org, confirming their ownership of the original photographs and authorising use of both the original and restored versions.

This means that all images associated with the article are now properly documented, sourced, and verifiable.
