Casecnan Irrigation and Hydroelectric Plant

 * ... that the Casecnan Irrigation and Hydroelectric Plant, which costed USD 600 million, is one of the most expensive hydroelectric power plants in the Philippines, being next only to San Roque Dam, which costed USD 1.19 billion?



Criteria of being new, long enough and within policy are met. The issue of the hook accuracy needs clarification. The hook talks about absolute cost but the source says about cost per MW (...considered as one of the most expensive IPP power plants that were ever built in the Philippines in terms of USD per MW). There is no reference added saying that this is the second most expensive hydropower project in Philippines. Additional remark is that per dam naming practice, the better title could be Casecnan Dam.

 * After checking the amount without infobox and referencs, it seems that the article may need some expansion to be in line with the lenght requirement. Beagel (talk) 11:05, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
 * DYK check says it's fine - 1991 characters. Secretlondon (talk) 00:47, 26 August 2012 (UTC)
 * The hook, however, is overlong at 224 characters. When an ALT hook is proposed, "costed" should be "cost" (or a different word entirely). BlueMoonset (talk) 04:55, 27 August 2012 (UTC)


 * ALT1 * ... that the Casecnan Dam is the second most expensive hydroelectric power plant in the Philippines after the San Roque Dam?
 * I trimmed the hook and I still propose to move the article to the Casecnan Dam. However, the hook still needs factual verification. Beagel (talk) 05:19, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Saying the project is the second most expensive isn't verified in the cited source. It could be "one of the most expensive" but second is too much a stretch given the source.--NortyNort (Holla) 17:24, 27 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Symbol possible vote.svg The creator/expander has a habit of nominating articles for DYK and then abandoning them. If they pass, fine; if troubles arise, I have yet to see a response in a nomination template, despite notices posted to Arius1998's talk page noting issues and requesting assistance. A QPQ is required, but has not been supplied. If one of you here would like to take over this one, please feel free; otherwise, I very much doubt this will survive. There is another nomination in similar straits: problematic hooks are par for the course. BlueMoonset (talk) 05:32, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
