Manilal Dwivedi[edit]

Nominator(s): Gazal world (talk) 18:55, 3 October 2020 (UTC) Co-nominator(s):Nizil Shah[reply]

This article is about 19th-century Indian philosopher, writer, and social thinker. After the first nomination was archived, the article has been majorly expanded. In doing so, I received enormous help from my mentor User:Mike Christie, who also reviewed the previous nomination. Without his help, such improvement would not have been possible. The article has now became clean and polished. I am also thankful to User:Nishidani, User:Gog the Mild, and all the editors who participated in Peer Review and GA review.

Reviewers may want to take a look at the article talk page, where User:Fowler&fowler has expressed concerns about the notability of the article subject and whether the sources are of sufficient quality to support a featured article, since Fowler&fowler has indicated they will probably not be commenting at this FAC. However, regarding sources, I believe that they are quite reliable and scholarly. Thanks. Gazal world (talk) 18:55, 3 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Aza24[edit]

  • I don't know if I'm going to give this a full review but there a little of odd things that stick out to me:
  • There could definitely be at least 2 more pictures, especially something in the Philosophy and social reform section... also why are the two pictures in the biography section so tiny? And is one building right after another really an appropriate use of media?
  • There is no images available related to the subject, except book-covers written by him. So I can add book covers in Philosophy and social reform section. --Gazal world (talk) 20:52, 6 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • I glanced through the talk page and with the doubts on Dwivedi in mind (which I am not attempting to take a side on), where is "He was an influential figure in 19th-century Gujarati literature" supported in the text – and what does the reference say to explicitly support this?
  • "commonly referred to as Manilal in literary circles." seems unnecessary, why does this matter? If you want to keep it it should be formatted right after the name, like how Josquin des Prez is in the first sentence
  • I'm not really sure how I feel about "Philosophy and social reform" – I'm not getting a very coherent section here. From looking at it (albiet not intensely closely) it seems like an "extended bullet point list" of his ideas. I don't know though, maybe other reviewers will disagree.
  • "among the masters of Indian philosophy" seems editorial, does the source really say that?
  • Yes. The source uses the exact wording: among the masters of Indian philosophy. --Gazal world (talk) 20:52, 6 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • His father being a "temple priest" could mean so many different religions in India... and shouldn't Manilal's religion be mentioned in the bio as well? Aza24 (talk) 09:29, 4 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • User:Fowler&fowler posted some new comments on article's talk page which need to be addressed. It will take some time in addressing all that comments. I would like to withdraw this nomination for now. I will come next year with fresh eye. Pinging Ian Rose and Ealdgyth. Thanks. --Gazal world (talk) 14:00, 14 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
