Comment: I have asked on the Ukrainian article for a better cite for the family info. As a native English speaker I cleaned up this translation from the Ukrainian article but please let me know if anything else is needed.

Number of QPQs required: 1. Nominator has 38 past nominations.
I don't think this counts as a full review, but this nomination will not pass. The article is full of WP:PROSELINE, which is highly discouraged. The information about his family is inherently unverifiable to anyone who isn't you. How would readers check sources? I want to see this nomination go through, but that won't be possible without restructuring the article to remove the proseline and the family information. Bremps... 04:50, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
@Chidgk1: Please address the above.--Launchballer 18:18, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
Sorry for slow reply - have been up in hills for a week and just got back a couple of hours ago. Have asked on talk page of Ukrainian article if they can find a better cite for the family details than the long video which is there now. Will fix proseline. Chidgk1 (talk) 18:37, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
Have made some changes - hope someone can now review this. Chidgk1 (talk) 08:10, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
It won't be me for a while as I review oldest first. I would suggest taking the ref out of the infobox and expanding/moving the Family single-sentence WP:PARAGRAPH, although these aren't DYK issues. Full review needed.--Launchballer 09:06, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
Thanks for quick reply but I don’t understand why it is wrong to have a ref in an infobox. Re expanding I will leave it for a little while in the hope someone else might expand, but feel free to press me if they have not done so in a reasonable time. Chidgk1 (talk) 09:10, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
The relevant policy is MOS:INFOBOXREF, which I'm surprised to find says that they're acceptable in some cases. I would argue that both of the facts should be included in the main body.--Launchballer 09:36, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
OK thanks done Chidgk1 (talk) 15:11, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
Full review needed. (You can reinstate his birthdate when you have a source for it.)--Launchballer 19:29, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
Overall: The Unmanned Systems Forces seems to be a Ukranian unit, so the "in the world" is largely unneeded (but not a DYK issue). And I can't promote it because it not nominated, but File:Вадим Сухаревський cropped.jpg would seem to be a valid photo; it's used, with a free license and clear at small size Cambalachero (talk) 19:59, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
