Happy to take this :) Will post my comments within a week. Sainsf (talk · contribs) 12:40, 18 April 2020 (UTC)
@Annki777: This nom might have to be quick failed, but I will keep this open for response from your side for a week. There are several issues that need to be fixed before a proper review can be done: Sainsf (talk · contribs) 07:42, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
- Copyvio: While these two [1] [2] look like copies of the Wiki article rather than the other way round, these [3] [4] [5] look like worrying instances of plagiarism.
- Dablinks: Quite a few (mostly redirects to this page)
- Prose and coverage: Lead does not comply with WP:MOSLEAD, quite a lot of sections that could do better with expansion ('People from Surat' looks totally unnecessary)
- Sourcing: Citations need proper formatting (
The City Mayors Foundation, an international think tank on urban affairs. [3]
see this), inline citations lacking in lots of places.
Failing due to a week of inactivity and lots of issues. Sainsf (knock knock · am I there?) 06:54, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
