Deepak Fertilisers and Petrochemicals Corporation Limited[edit]

Created by Dharmadhyaksha (talk). Self-nominated at 06:08, 25 June 2019 (UTC).

So should the hook be changed to "... that Deepak Fertilizers claims that it has GPS..."? §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 08:01, 1 July 2019 (UTC)
I think the main issue is that, actually, GPS tracking in trucks is not uncommon or special and is even required in some jurisdictions. So just the fact that this company does it isn't special. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 04:22, 25 July 2019 (UTC)
Its not required in India. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 05:45, 25 July 2019 (UTC)
  • Personally, I think this would be a good hook. Please keep the context (India) in mind. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 06:05, 25 July 2019 (UTC)
Wikipedia has an international audience, not a primarily Indian one. Such a hook could work in an Indian-focused website, where readers are expected to be familiar with India's circumstances and quirks, but not on a global website like Wikipedia where readers come from all over the world. Perhaps something better can be proposed here that can appeal even to non-Indian readers? Because as it stands, the hook fact fails the criterion of hooks being "interesting to a broad audience".

Why do you get so worked up every time? I've noticed that a bulk of your own DYK nominations are about Japanese entities that may not necessarily interest a global audience. Here's the context: The world thinks India is apoor third world country. Yes, knowing of a GPS-tracked fertiliser truck will certainly interest them. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 07:55, 25 July 2019 (UTC)
To be honest, I admit that I don't know anything about India's trucking industry, but with how big and populous India is, I very much doubt that Deepak Fertilisers is the only fertilizer company in the country that uses GPS tracking. On the other hand, looking at the article again, there's a mention that the company owns a mall in Pune. Now that is probably unusual, as personally I'd never heard of any other fertilizer company in the world that also own a mall. So how about:
ALT1 ... that Deepak Fertilisers and Petrochemicals owns a mall in Pune, India?
I also have to note that per MOS:TITLE, the article title should probably be at "Deepak Fertilisers and Petrochemicals" as we don't usually put "corporation/incorporated/limited/etc." in article titles (with some exceptions such as Apple Inc.). Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 21:35, 25 July 2019 (UTC)
Apart from passer-by comments, this nomination has not been really reviewed. Hence requesting for a reviewer. Am ok with both alternatives of hook. Article has been moved per WP:NCCORP. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 04:49, 30 July 2019 (UTC)
  • This article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline and either could be used as I think both are interesting. The article is neutral and I detected no copyright or plagiarism issues. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:06, 3 August 2019 (UTC)
  • Hi, I came by to promote this, but I think you could do more with the hook. If you want to bring out a certain point, like that the Indian government is usually not so strict but in this case it is, you have to say it in the hook, not assume it. But I think you have an interesting angle in the technical ammonium nitrate being used by terrorists. The article and its sources only talk about its use as explosives in industry; can you provide another source that links it to terrorists? Then you could say something like:
  • ALT2: ... that Deepak Fertilisers and Petrochemicals uses GPS to track its vehicles transporting ammonium nitrate, as that chemical has been used as an explosive by terrorists? Yoninah (talk) 22:25, 5 August 2019 (UTC)
I am ok with Alt2. @Cwmhiraeth: if you can review it please. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 10:50, 6 August 2019 (UTC)
  • Thanks for the approval, but the source Dharmadhyaksha added doesn't explicitly say it's used by terrorists as an explosive device. It says it "can be used by anti-social elements". Do you have a more specific source? Yoninah (talk) 11:23, 6 August 2019 (UTC)
@Yoninah: have tweeked the sentences now to mention "anti-social elements and naxalites" and also mentioned ANFO. The reference article used for this itself is titled "Why ammonium nitrate is favourite tool of terror". I am ok to replace "terrorist" with "naxalites" in the hook. But they all mean same. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 03:56, 7 August 2019 (UTC)
  • Thank you. Approving ALT3. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 04:54, 12 August 2019 (UTC)}}
