The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as this nomination's talk page, the article's talk page or Wikipedia talk:Did you know), unless there is consensus to re-open the discussion at this page. No further edits should be made to this page.
Some of the sources are missing dates of publication. On content, the note above by Reidgreg seems pertinent if discussed by sources, and the article should state who called HRW. On the proposed hooks, I feel both lack a round context for the situation. I don't have any suggestions for it right now, but I believe something better can be crafted while still conveying similar messages. CMD (talk) 04:30, 18 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
ALT2: ... that as recently as May 2020, 13-year-old Nepali girl was raped and later married to her alleged 25-year-old rapist by the community and was found dead the next day?
That's more a summary of the article than a hook, and feels a tad polemic. I think a useful hook should pick on one fact, such as the original suggestion of the police refusal, or the new note of the community marriage decision. This is a sensitive topic, and we should exercise due care in putting it on the main page. CMD (talk) 13:25, 25 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
Comment: I do not see how this article follows WP:BLPCRIME. Saying "alleged" everywhere is not enough, I think. The alternative hooks, especially the second one, are also bad in this regard. PJvanMill)talk(22:40, 28 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
Overall: Yoninah et al., I completed a review of this article and the ALT3 hook, and I find that they meet DYK criteria. The ALT3 hook details a significant event that occurred prior to Ms. Pasi's death, and its content is supported by three verifiable sources. The image of Ms. Pasi in the article is fair use, with an appropriate rationale provided for its use in this article. The article is "readable prose size" at 2466 characters (402 words), and it was published by CAPTAIN MEDUSA on July 25, 2020, the day on which it was nominated for DYK. All content in the ALT3 hook and the article is sourced from reliable sources with archived links. Please note that I relied upon a translation tool in order to verify the Ekantipur.com source, which is in Nepali. West Virginian (talk)00:34, 16 September 2020 (UTC)Reply
