Looking at id:Hamim Tohari, it appears that this is very close to an automated translation of that article, lacking any proper attribution.
@LordPeterII: For clarification, the original article in the Indonesian language was written by me. Previously the Indonesian article was in a resume format. I translated the article manually. Regards, Jeromi Mikhael01:20, 8 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The article appears to be properly referenced, but as noted, all of the sources are in Indonesian, so I'm unable to really evaluate them. WP:DYKR requires in this case that I verify the basic facts, or at the very least, the existence of the article subject. I have been unable to find any English language sources which would let me do this. I suspect that this would fail WP:ANYBIO if brought to AfD. Given that article makes negative statements (i.e. the subject being dismissed from his post for cause) in a WP:BLP, this is a serious problem.
The BLP question above notwithstanding, I don't see any problems with WP:NPOV per-se.
Pinging @Juxlos as someone who has had Indonesian articles appear at DYK and might be able to help with evaluating the article's basic facts.
If the hook is deemed to negative, it might be changed to emphasize that while he was first dsimissed, he shortly afterwards became army spokesperson (which makes the incident seem less grave of a fault). –LordPickleII (talk) 18:41, 7 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@RoySmith: reading through the Indonesian sources, his dismissal is quite extensively discussed and is a significant part of his notability. Even his appointment to the new post mentions the dismissal incident in length. I'd say it doesn't violate BLP. Juxlos (talk) 07:11, 19 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Full review needed now that QPQ has been provided. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:35, 17 August 2022 (UTC)

Done Regards, Jeromi Mikhael 04:08, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
Thank you. It's recommended that {{Translated page}} include the exact version you translated from, but what you've got meets the minimum requirement, so this is good to go now. -- RoySmith (talk) 23:13, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
