Kamalapur Red Banana

 * ... that Kamalapur Red Banana known as a "rich man's fruit" is marketed at a higher price compared to other types of banana due to large inputs in farming?

 * Symbol possible vote.svg QPQ needed (this user has over 1200 DYKs according to the checker!?!) and not done. Both the article and the hook are written in bad and promotional-sounding English. In many places, the article is closely paraphrased from its sources. The hook is badly sourced and contains a synthesis of claims from different sources: source [1] says "rich man's fruit" but doesn't say why. Source [2] says "high price" but not that the price is higher than for other bananas. The "large inputs in farming" claim is also in source [2] but not as a reason for the high price, since the context makes clear that it is true for all bananas. Claims of health benefits do not meet WP:MEDRS. Many claims from the sources seem badly-digested and possibly made incorrect in the transmission; e.g. source [1] says that the cultivation area was 100 ha "earlier" but the article doesn't put in that qualifier. —David Eppstein (talk) 07:03, 5 February 2016 (UTC)
