@CAPTAIN MEDUSA: Where did you get the runtime for the infobox? Could you write a few lines under "Production" to verify the facts in the infobox? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 17:26, 26 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

General eligibility:

Policy compliance:

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: Yes
  • Interesting: Yes
  • Other problems: Yes
Image: Image is freely licensed, used in the article, and clear at 100px.
QPQ: Done.

Overall: New enough at only two days old, all of the information is cited, including its ban in Nepal, and I see no neutrality, sourcing, plagiarism, or any other problems with the article. BTW congratulations on finding this really interesting hook since I have always found stuff relating to the Nepalese Communist Party or Nepalese Civil War really interesting.

  • Yoninah, I came here to give the tick you requested nearly a week ago, but was unable to find in any of the sources wording that specifically ascribed the banning to Gyanendra himself, so I can't approve ALT1. Neither the wording in the lede nor in the Sarkar quote goes that far (and the quote is very odd in that it says "five years ago" yet there is no identification of when the passage was written).

  • The article was written on September 24, 2005 (see the heading on the bold text).
ALT2: ... that the 1997 historical drama Balidaan (Sacrifice) was banned eight years later by King Gyanendra's government for its portrayal of Nepal's communist movement?
Hi BlueMoonset, Is this better? ~~ CAPTAIN MEDUSAtalk 11:19, 3 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yoninah, I really wish there wasn't disagreement between sources. Source 3 gives the film's release as 1997, but source 4 says it was 1996. Source 7 says the ban was "five years ago" (dated January 10, 2010), but source 3 reports the ban as if very recent on September 24, 2005. Does any source give the actual release date of the movie beyond the year? It might be safer to say "in 2005" rather than "eight years later" given the discrepancies and uncertainties.
