Overall: @CAPTAIN MEDUSA: Great job on both articles. Since both pages check out, this nomination is good to go. epicgenius (talk) 17:52, 7 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hey epicgenius, Thanks for the review! ~~ CAPTAIN MEDUSA^talk 17:54, 7 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I came by to promote this. Instead of sending you to WP:GOCE, I edited both articles for you. The book article focuses too much on the author, and indeed, there is some information (like his views on freedom of speech and the business about court documents) that really should be added to the author article. As it is, I wonder if Krishna Lal Adhikari even has 1,500 characters of unique text per Rule A5.
I added clarification-needed tags to Makaiko Kheti. It's not at all clear what Makai Parva refers to. BTW I notice that you do a lot of archiving, but your URLs do not have to include the key search words when they also include the page number. Yoninah (talk) 23:35, 12 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yoninah, I have clarified what Makai Parva means. ~~ CAPTAIN MEDUSA^talk 12:08, 13 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for cleaning up Makaiko Kheti. I did a little more editing to remove WP:UNDUE information about the author which has nothing to do with the publication of the book.
As it stands now, Krishna Lal Adhikari replicates about 817 characters of text from Makaiko Kheti, leaving 1316 characters of text that can be counted toward the DYK length requirement. Frankly, I think Krishna Lal Adhikari should be nominated for AFD because he has no notability other than as the author of the book. Yoninah (talk) 18:38, 13 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yoninah, I have expanded the article. Adhikari surely meets the notability criteria, he has a park named after him, recognised as the first "literary martyr" in Nepal, and a play is based on him. ~~ CAPTAIN MEDUSA^talk 13:11, 14 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@CAPTAIN MEDUSA: Thank you. Krishna Lal Adhikari now has 900 characters of copied text, leaving 1814 characters of unique text.
The hook, however, is inaccurate. He was sentenced to 9 years, but died after 3. How about writing:
ALT1: ... that Nepali author Krishna Lal Adhikari (pictured) was sentenced to nine years in prison for publishing a book about the cultivation of corn? Yoninah (talk) 21:04, 20 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yoninah, Sounds good! ~~ CAPTAIN MEDUSA^talk 10:58, 21 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I'm going ahead and restoring the tick for ALT1 per epicgenius's review because I think that's what you meant in the first place. Yoninah (talk) 13:51, 21 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
