Hi Kingsif, review follows (I have only reviewed ALT1, so that both articles can be run):

Avraham Tamir: article created 31 December and exceeds minimum length; article is well written; I found no issue with overly close paraphrasing in a sample of the English-language sources I could access;
Daniel Efrat: article created 7 January and exceeds minimum length; is well written but lead needs expanding otherwise it can be tagged with Template:Lead too short which would disqualify it; I found no issue with overly close paraphrasing in a sample of the English-language sources I could access;
Hook etc.' I interesting and mentioned in the Efrat article; I've removed "renowned" from the hook as it is a judgement and the word is not mentioned in Tamir's article; I can sort of (through Google Translate) verify the conscription part but can't work out how the grandparent relationship is established. Is it through the family tree you link? I couldn't find a Daniel Efrat on it. Also could you confirm that the tree is a reliable source and not user generated? Two QPQs have been carried out - Dumelow (talk) 15:39, 17 January 2022 (UTC)

@
Museum of the Jewish People. (They changed the database at some point in the last year or so, I had to fix a bunch of links, so I don't think it's complete, but hopefully a useful resource when it will be complete.) Googling in Hebrew on an English keyboard isn't the easiest, but I hope I'll find something soon. Will expand the Daniel Efrat lead. Kingsif (talk

@Dumelow: Ok, I have done the searches I can think of, and nothing concrete on Tamir and Efrat's relationship. I'll ask at the Hebrew Wikipedia later, and come up with other hooks. Kingsif (talk) 00:03, 18 January 2022 (UTC)

I'm also happy to propose separate hooks for the articles if that would help. Kingsif (talk) 23:13, 17 January 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for looking into this Kingsif, happy to leave on hold while enquiries are made. Give me a ping when sorted or if you want to look at other hooks - Dumelow (talk) 06:20, 18 January 2022 (UTC)

Kingsif, Dumelow, it's been over three weeks. Any progress? Where does this nomination stand? BlueMoonset (talk) 23:00, 11 February 2022 (UTC)

I’ve been having some hardware problems, so slower and more specific editing/this wasn’t a priority for me and left to Dumelow’s discretion, but I have some individual hooks to propose for both. I think I need to add a source to the Efrat article for it, but I can find that source. Kingsif (talk) 12:08, 12 February 2022 (UTC)

Hi Kingsif, yes I am happy to review separate hooks if you propose them - Dumelow (talk) 18:13, 12 February 2022 (UTC)

ALT2: ... that although Ovad Efrat was a commando in the Israel Defense Forces, his son Daniel Efrat (pictured) was rejected after conscription?

ALT3: ... that Avraham Tamir was the first Israeli official to hold talks with the Palestine Liberation Organization leadership?

Kingsif (talk) 08:35, 13 February 2022 (UTC)

ALT4: ... that the first musical Daniel Efrat (pictured) translated was The Rocky Horror Show, a service he repeated for the show's Israel premiere?

ALT5: ... that Daniel Efrat (pictured) and father Ovad Efrat debuted in different fields with performances of The Rocky Horror Show?

@Dumelow: Some alts to consider, alt5 is an interpretation of facts, and I’ve reinstated alt0. Alt2 is a revision of alt1, which I’ve struck. Kingsif (talk) 14:09, 13 February 2022 (UTC)

Hi Kingsif. All hooks are mentioned in the articles. I'll have to AGF on sourcing as I cannot see the right part of the Google Books snippet for Avraham and the Daniel sourcing is in Hebrew (though Google Translate appears to support the facts stated). BlueMoonset not sure how this nomination needs to be split to run as two separate hooks without breaking anything, any idea?- Dumelow (talk) 07:30, 14 February 2022 (UTC)

Thanks :) I'm also not sure on that last point, but transplanting it wholesale to

Template:Did you know nominations/Daniel Efrat and then selecting hooks separately at each may be a solution. Kingsif (talk
