 * You need to improve sources that claim it as being "the oldest and largest x of India" in order to use ALT1, see the talk page. At least two of the sources claim "one of the oldest and the largest refuse sites in Mumbai".--Z oupan 15:13, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I have added two three more sources, one from The Times of India and two from Mumbai Mirror. While the Mumbai Mirror source clearly states the it is indeed India's oldest and largest landfill, The Times of India source states, " is the oldest and the biggest one in Asia", hence it is indirectly India's largest too. Is that fine? -- ♪Karthik♫ ♪Nadar♫ 17:55, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Author has added complementary sources to back claim of oldest and largest dumping ground of India, and possibly, of Asia. Good to go.--Z oupan 18:14, 30 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Symbol possible vote.svg I am concerned that this article's phrasing may be too close to that of its sources. For example, compare "around 40 residents from Chembur resorted to a hunger strike to protest against the frequent fire and smoke occurring dumping ground" with "Around 40 residents from the Chembur area resorted to a hunger strike on Monday to protest against the frequent fire and smoke at the Deonar dumping ground". Also, the article needs extensive copy editing. Nikkimaria (talk) 21:18, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
