Lilia Tarawa

Converted from a redirect by Nexus000 (talk). Nominated by Feminist (talk) at 16:25, 6 April 2021 (UTC).

General: Article is new enough and long enough

Policy compliance:

  • Adequate sourcing: No - Referencing is generally good and from independent and reliable sources. While checking the hook citation, I noticed the rest of the paragraph (In 2009, Tarawa and her family...) was not supported by the citation given. - checkY fixed.
  • Neutral: Yes
  • Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing: No - Checked with Earwig's Copyvio Detector, which returned a possible violation in relation to several lengthy quotes in the article. Per WP:QUOTE, overuse of quotes, especially long ones, is discouraged and may be better paraphrased in prose. - checkY fixed.
  • Other problems: No - A merge request is currently under discussion; the DYK cannot proceed until this is closed. - checkY merge request closed.

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: Yes
  • Interesting: No - The hook doesn't feel "hooky" enough to me. Gloriavale isn't unique in telling its members they will go to hell if they leave.
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Article length and age are fine, and reliable sources are used. However, there is a possible copyvio issue, and the hook doen't feel "hooky". This is my first solo QPQ, so second opinions and feedback are welcome. Lcmortensen (mailbox) 10:44, 9 April 2021 (UTC)

  • Comment I have requested for the merge request to be closed because it has found a clear consensus. Nexus000 (talk) 23:32, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
  • @Lcmortensen: Thanks for the review. I've paraphrased some quotes to address the plagiarism concern. You are right, the audio in the source cited does not support the rest of the paragraph. @Nexus000: where did you get that information? Is it from her book? If so, cite that.
  • ALT1: ... that "everything got stricter" in the Gloriavale Christian Community after Lilia Tarawa left with her family?
  • I'm also open to other hook suggestions. feminist (talk) 04:27, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
  • The referencing issue is minor and easily fixed. My local library has a copy, but its onb loan, so I can't fix it myself. The original hook is much more "hooky" compared with the alternate hook, and I may have been a little bit harsh in my critique, so with the original hook.

    • Thanks for the review. I realize this is a minor issue, but shouldn't this be a green tick? The RNZ source cited is online and non-paywalled, and states Lilia Tarawa fled Gloriavale after years of believing that to do so would mean she would go to hell. It fully supports the original hook. feminist (talk) 16:53, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
