    ALT1: ... that Muhammad al-Jawad is the ninth of the Twelve Imams and, with his unexplained death at about twenty-five, the youngest of them to die? Albertatiran (talk) 09:29, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

Overall: Earwig finds a few similar phrases, but they are common phrases which I believe do not count as copyvio. ALT1 checks out in citation 3 here ("shortest lived"). I prefer ALT1. I don't think we can use ALT0, because the information in it is to be expected. Just one issue of presentation:

• The name of the biography subject should appear at or near the beginning of every paragraph ("he" or "his" causes confusion). There is only one to correct: "During his imamate, Shia activists".

When that issue can be resolved, this nom should be good to go with ALT1.. Storye book (talk) 12:26, 3 March 2023 (UTC)

@Storye book: I believe i've fixed it. Onegreatjoke (talk) 04:14, 8 March 2023 (UTC)

Thank you, Onegreatjoke, you have, indeed. Storye book (talk) 10:16, 8 March 2023 (UTC)

Good to go with ALT1. Storye book (talk) 10:16, 8 March 2023 (UTC)

@Onegreatjoke and Storye book:Isn't it kind of odd to say "he was the youngest to die"? One of the sources says he was "the shortest-lived" which makes more sense but I know it doesn't sound nice. Not sure how to fix or if anyone else picked up on that. "He died at the youngest age" / "He died youngest"? Cielquiparle (talk) 11:33, 10 March 2023 (UTC)

I think ALT1 sounds fine, and the meaning is clear. However, here is an ALT2 as an available alternative, if someone would please approve it for us? Thank you. Storye book (talk) 15:58, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
