[[File:Symbol question.svg|16px]] The article is long and new enough. It is a translation of an article in Turkish Wikipedia, and I find no copyvios in either the English or Turkish versions. A few of the paragraphs are missing citations; once these are added, this article will pass. Also, the image is (I think) of a pattern that does not exhibit the quasicrystal pattern mentioned in the hook. If possible an image of a quasicrystalline girih should be used, otherwise I'm not sure that this particular image, while it would look great on the Main Page, is appropriate. I have made some minor tweaks to the hook.

Also note that, because this is an example of two-dimensional medieval art, it should not be hard to find a public domain photograph of such a girih under the [[Template:PD-Art|PD-Art]] doctrine. For two-dimensional art in the public domain, faithful representations such as photographs are also always in the public domain, no matter where they are published.
