  • Reviewed: not required for having less than 5 DYK credits Naomi Dattani
  • Comment: I tried to find sources in English but failed. There is huge coverage in national Hindi dailies and, not surprisingly, some relevant facts are only covered by them

Yoninah, when I nominated this article here, I had less than 5 DYK credits thus I was not required to submit a QPQ review. However, since then, as you pointed out, the total has gone up to 6 credits. Does this rule work in retrospective as well? I am not aware of it.--Deepak G Goswami (talk) 10:40, 16 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
  • @Deepak G Goswami: no, it does not. I think what happened is that you nominated a few hooks in a row and it took time for them to be promoted. I will IAR on the QPQ requirement here, but please remember to submit one starting with your next nomination. I will do the review shortly. Yoninah (talk) 10:45, 16 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
  •   I gave the article a thorough copyedit for English grammar; please check my work. Here is a review: New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen in online English-language sources. QPQ requirement waived. The ALT0 hook is not so interesting for readers in other countries who don't know who he or his party is. The ALT1 hook discusses something that needs a little more description in the article explaining what it is. Meanwhile, the way the hook is written, it sounds like he was arrested while being president of the Delhi BJP. Since this is a BLP, I think it would be safer to fashion a different hook, perhaps about his getting involved in student politics and rising to Delhi BJP president, or else focus on one of his activities in that role.

  • @Deepak G Goswami: Thank you for the alts. ALT2 is another BLP violation. ALT3 is not so understandable because of the Indian name at the end. I'd like you to return to ALT1. If indeed that arrest was a matter of pride, I would like you to expand the article a little bit in that section. Right now the article is just mentioning the movement without explaining what it is. Add some description about what the movement was about. Then you can write a variation of ALT1 that adds some description of what this movement was or why it was important. If indeed it was a matter of pride that he was arrested, please add that to the article as well (with a source of course). Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 12:48, 16 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
Yoninah, I have added a sentence in the article describing what this movement was about. I am little surprised why there is not a separate article on the subject. I would like to create this article but (given controversy around it) it'd attract an annoying merge proposal. Please review the latest proposed hook. This matter of pride thing would mess up the neutrality of the article with undue weightage to one particular aspect of the subject's life. Moreover, this is a sweeping term that I used for politicians who were the part of this movement to describe how they usually feel about it. I am not aware of any source in which the subject himself said that it was a matter of pride for him to get arrested for the cause.--Deepak G Goswami (talk) 14:52, 16 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
  •   Yoninah, I have struck ALT4a as it is 204 prose characters, above the max length. (ALT4 is 196 characters.) Perhaps "held in a temporary prison" could be replaced by "imprisoned"? Deepak G Goswami, I regret having to say this but the QPQ requirement cannot be so easily brushed aside. It doesn't matter how many DYK credits you have at the time of nomination, it's at the time of review approval that counts, and there are now six. If there had been five credits when Yoninah started the review, a QPQ would still have been required, but somehow that sixth promotion made it through without a QPQ. There should certainly not be a seventh freebie, so a QPQ will be needed here. After all, if someone has four DYK credits and they submit a two-article nomination, we require them to submit a QPQ for the second article; this situation is no different.

BlueMoonset, QPQ done. As I mentioned above, I was not aware of the rule regarding QPQ requirement in retrospective. Thanks for suggesting a concise version Yoninah.--Deepak G Goswami (talk) 11:57, 17 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
  Thank you. Since I added an extra fact to ALT4b, we need someone else to review it. Pinging our hard-working reviewers evrik and Kingsif. Yoninah (talk) 12:13, 17 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
