Created by Z1720 (talk). Self-nominated at 13:23, 5 April 2016 (UTC).
Article is new enough, long enough, and meets core content guidelines. Sufficient inline citations as well as no close paraphrasing that I detected. The hooks are concise and cited inline to reliable sources. Offline source for the main hook accepted AGF. QPQ done and there is no image to review. Good to go.

There is close paraphrasing from the Canadian Encyclopedia, maybe from others that I didn't check. Yoninah (talk) 22:31, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
- @Yoninah: Hi Yoninah, thanks for checking my nomination. I used Earwig's Copyvio Detector before nominating the page, which said that although Canadian Encyclopedia was high, it wasn't detected as a violation. However, I looked at the link you gave, and I tried to edit the page to remove some of the paraphrasing. If you have any other suggestions or feedback, please let me know!

- @Z1720: Close paraphrasing is not measured by percentages on Earwig's; I have found close paraphrasing in articles with percentages as low as 15%. The important thing is to compare the articles side by side, as Earwig's does, to see where words and sentence structure are being copied. If a source says "preserving and popularizing", you cannot simply turn it around and write "popularizing and preserving". "Disenfranchised" is not a synonym for "frustrated". When you feel you cannot rephrase a source, you should simply put the words or phrases in quotes. I'm afraid I am very busy now preparing for Passover and cannot do an in-depth review of all of your sources, but this article needs more work to avoid close paraphrasing.

It has been over two weeks since the above post, and Z1720 has not edited on Wikipedia in three weeks, since the April 11 post above. Under the circumstances, given the continued close paraphrasing, I think it's time to close this nomination as unsuccessful. Should Z1720 return before this closes and starts the necessary work, the nomination can continue. BlueMoonset (talk) 00:48, 2 May 2016 (UTC)
