 * Symbol question.svg These two articles are new enough and long enough. The hook facts are supported by inline citations, the articles are neutral and I detected no copyright issues. As the three ministers all resigned on the same day, there was presumably a reason for this. Why did they resign? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:38, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
 * There were multiple reasons, but all boil down to the climate of disagreement between Bangla Congress and CPI(M). Bangla Congress had 4 ministers in the Second United Front Cabinet, including the Chief Minister. On Feb 19 these three ministers resigned, on orders from their party. A few days later the Chief Minister resigned as well, a move that brought the end of the cabinet. --Soman (talk) 12:17, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol voting keep.svg It would be helpful to add that information to the articles. All DYK criteria met. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:23, 24 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg This looks like a good candidate for a slot on February 19. if you are able to source the part about the party ordering them to resign, and the chief minister resigning too, we could write a more interesting hook:
 * ALT1: ... that on February 19, 1970, the Bangla Congress ordered Charu Mihir Sarkar, Bhabatosh Soren, and one other minister to resign from the West Bengal cabinet, and a few days later the chief minister resigned too? Yoninah (talk) 21:12, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I'm ok with ALT1. --Soman (talk) 19:20, 12 February 2017 (UTC)
 * I have to shorten it to under 200 char:
 * ALT1a: ... that on February 19, 1970, the Bangla Congress ordered Charu Mihir Sarkar, Bhabatosh Soren, and another minister to resign from the West Bengal cabinet, and then the chief minister resigned too? Yoninah (talk) 21:12, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
 * But you haven't added or sourced the last fact in the hook, about the chief minister resigning too. . Yoninah (talk) 20:26, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
 * OK, I added the refs from the Second United Front Cabinet article, but now I have to change the hook because in neither article do you say that the Bangla Congress ordered them to resign. Here are new hook suggestions:
 * ALT2: ... that on February 19, 1970, Charu Mihir Sarkar, Bhabatosh Soren, and another Bangla Congress minister resigned from the West Bengal cabinet, and a few weeks later the chief minister resigned too?
 * ALT3: ... that on February 19, 1970, Charu Mihir Sarkar, Bhabatosh Soren, and another Bangla Congress minister resigned from the West Bengal cabinet, and a month later the government was dismissed? Yoninah (talk) 20:45, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
 * I'm ok with ALT2. --Soman (talk) 22:45, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol voting keep.svg - As this nomination has been kicking around for a few months, I am approving the original hook (I rearranged it to make it more "hooky") as AGF for being cited to offline sources. Otherwise both articles appear good to go.  Mifter (talk) 05:46, 4 March 2017 (UTC)
