- This is not a full review, but that hook likely runs afoul of our BLP-related criteria: it focuses on a negative aspect of a living person. Vanamonde (talk) 14:21, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
- @Vanamonde93: New hook added. RRD13 দেবজ্যোতি (talk) 05:58, 13 May 2017 (UTC)
What on earth is interesting about "politician wins seat by x number of votes?" Certainly nothing that I can see, which is why I have pulled it from the queue. Gatoclass (talk) 04:56, 10 June 2017 (UTC)

...that Indian politician Ahmed bin Abdullah Balala of the AIMIM party won the Malakpet seat in 2009, even though his party failed to do so in 1989 and 1994?

- @Gatoclass: I underatand your concern. But it should be understood, the the article is about a local politician that too from a local state party. There is very little coverage of him and he barely passes notability due to holding governmental post, and it was after a lot of digging up of news, I could make the article cross 1500 mark. To be precise, all the works relating to his party AIMIM are performed by its president or his brother and so such MLA find little importance in the news. But from the resources I have I find the second hook to be interesting, at least because his party which is Islamic is unable to win elections from Muslim dominated constituency that too against "secular" parties like Congress or TDP and Hindu nationalist party BJP. But still, I have another hook:

...that Indian legislator Ahmed bin Abdullah Balala urged the government to relax the helmet rules due to the high temperatures of the summer months?

- @Yoninah: I am seeing this website for first time and I can show you two evidences to justify that the web page had copied wikipedia article
- In the web page there is a text "Assembly polls.[7] He emerged" It is very clear that while the admin copied the wikipedia article and removed the reference numbers but forgot to remove this 7 no.
- The controversy section is missing. Which person would like to publicise an event about him assaulting others?
RRD13 দেবজ্যোতি (talk) 19:45, 10 June 2017 (UTC)
- @Royroydeb: It certainly looks suspicious. Can you check other Indian politician pages to see if they are as well written as this one, or if they also copy Wikipedia articles? Yoninah (talk) 20:56, 10 June 2017 (UTC)
- @Yoninah: I have put a reverse copyright tag in talk page. RRD13 দেবজ্যোতি (talk) 17:06, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
- Thank you. I accept your rationale that the website is totally copying your article, especially as you gathered all your information from other sources and didn't cite this page at all.
- Regarding the hook, I think ALT3 has more potential, but I would like to know if this rule applies to bicyclists, motorcyclists, or who? (The more color you can put in a hook, the better.) Yoninah (talk) 19:09, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
- @Yoninah: From the source only it is evident, that the demand is made for the common people riding motorbikes. RRD13 দেবজ্যোতি (talk) 18:28, 17 June 2017 (UTC)
- @Royroydeb: OK, so can we add that to the article and hook?
