  • This is a student nomination, and was nominated more than a month after creation, well outside the DYK window. Its edit history is a prime example of an article development that should have used the draft space. There are file licensing concerns, for example File:Major rivers in himachal.png, although they appear very much good faith and a result of unfamiliarity with our system. There's a few unsourced bits and pieces, but overall the article appears decent, so I am willing to extend significant IAR and do a more detailed review if the author wants to work on it, which they should indicate on this page.

  • CMD, the article was moved from the nominator's sandbox to mainspace on 15 November, so it was nominated one day beyond the seven-day DYK deadline. For this kind of delay, only minimal IAR is needed. For these annual Geology nominations, nominator Graeme Bartlett is the one ultimately responsible for these, and is who you should be working with.

  • Thanks BlueMoonset and Graeme, my apologies Graeme and Nykwong, I was misinterpreting things yesterday. A bit ill. Hopefully I will get the rest of this right. As I said the overall article is quite good. There's a few unsourced parts in "Development of the thrust wedge". I think the source intended is the one in the File:Accretion 1217.jpg caption, if so it should be duplicated into the prose. A page number would be helpful too. The last sentence of "Wedge extrusion model" may be from the immediately preceding Vannay et al source, but I can't access it to check (wiley website isn't working for some reason). The Climatic control on topographic growth section has some minor bits outside of sources, I assume they could be supportable by the Thiede source, but can't access it. I've made some other relevant tweaks myself.
  • On DYK specific needs, the hook seems a bit uninspiring. It could use some extra details, perhaps the geologic eras involved, the Indian and Eurasian plate collision, or the multiple tectonic units at the surface. Another hook topic may be the interaction between rainfall and isostatic load in the region, although this may be tricky to word accessibly. Best, CMD (talk) 02:36, 19 December 2020 (UTC)
  • Marking for closure as abandoned by nominator, who has not responded to multiple pings on this and other nominations over the past several weeks. BlueMoonset (talk) 17:26, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
