Tsarap River

 * ... that a landslide dam (pictured) on the Tsarap River in Ladakh formed an upstream lake of 14 km?

 * Comment: A failed to be ITN Candidate.

 * Symbol delete vote.svg The picture was taken by NASA and is therefore public domain. The article is long enough, is neutral and within policy. I'm assuming this website stole Wikipedia's content, not the other way around. Mehrajmir13 did expand the article fivefold but it was over the period of two and a half-years. The QPQ was done although not very thorough. The hook (166 characters) is short enough. I think there was a mistake in using Convert because according to the article, the lake was 14 miles, not kilometers, long. To that end the hook appears in the article but the citation says the lake was only half that size. I assume the hook has bolded a link to a section of the article because Tsarap River was already a DYK in 2012 and therefore ineligible.  Chris Troutman  ( talk ) 23:38, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
 * The Landslide Dam is a Current Event. It was nominated for DYK well within the five days of its creation. It's an article by itself. Counting it with the article is not fair, though it will give you a twofold expansion at the time of nomination. It was previously nominated at ITN Candidate. Convert template fixed as per the reference.  Mehra j Mir  (talk) 04:15, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
 * No, Landslide dam is an article by itself. Tsarap River is not. Chris Troutman  ( talk ) 20:51, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
 * The article has also been on DYK before, back in 2012. So I'm closing this as a no. Miyagawa (talk) 17:59, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
