Fakanau[edit]

(

)

... that fakanau, considered by some to be evil dancing, eventually disappeared from Tuvalu?

Reviewed: Poczta Królewiecka.

Created/expanded by Dr. Blofeld (talk), Nvvchar (talk), Rosiestep (talk). Nominated by Rosiestep (talk) at 04:42, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

Length well over the minimum, created only 3 days before nomination. Nicely-written article, with all parapgraphs referenced.

I have verified the reference to the hook fact, but suggest that the use of the word "by some" in the hook is a little weaselly. It would be better to specify that it was christian missionaries who labeled it "evil". I propose ALT1, which incorporates this change.

All of the online references support the cited facts, and I AGF on the others. Several of them are more than passing mentions, but all of those I could read fall short of WP:GNG's requirement for "significant coverage". Maybe there is more coverage in the offline sources, but I note that while there are no hits on JSTOR, there are 19 hits on Google Scholar, which satisfy my notability concerns.

So if the hook can be clarified along the lines I suggest, this one is fine. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 10:24, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

ALT1 is clearer so makes sense; suggest capitalizing "christian". --Rosiestep (talk) 16:13, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

Good to go, with ALT2 which incorporates Rosiestep's correction of my mistaken capitalisation. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs)
