 * Symbol confirmed.svg This article replaces a redirect and is long enough and new enough. The hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no policy issues. A QPQ has been done. Please check the change I made to the article about the direction of river flow. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:31, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
 * -Sheer pathetic review. Which of my edits over the article; you don't agree with? &#x222F; WBG converse 15:20, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
 * How rude you are! Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:26, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
 * directly affect the quality of content appearing at main page. Take the responsibility of your failure rather than blame my rudeness. &#x222F; WBG converse 05:26, 21 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Stop until I take a comprehensive look. Multiple concerns about using fake references (using cites that does not support what's cited) have been raised about the other creations by this author. &#x222F; WBG converse 14:22, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Fails basic requirements; after a purge of stuff written by the means of fake citations or poor-quality citations. &#x222F; WBG converse 15:20, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
 * I expanded the article once again. The prose is now more than required.  Mehra j Mir  (talk) 16:45, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg I reviewed the article according to the DYK criteria which does not include reviewing all the references. I will have another look at the article in a couple of days to see if it is stable and meets the other DYK requirements. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:32, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Wow. I presume that it was you who wrote that no policy issues were detected ? Last time I checked, WP:V and WP:RS were both included in our list of fundamental policies and guidelines. &#x222F; WBG converse 05:26, 21 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Handing over this acrimonious review to someone else as I have been working on the article. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 13:31, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Symbol possible vote.svg Now appears to meet DYK requirements, and was new enough at the time of nomination. My one suggestion is to revise the last sentence to better reflect the source content, to something along the lines of "The toxins eventually reach the Indus River where there is potential to impact millions of people". NoGhost (talk) 05:55, 9 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I have rewritten that sentence. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:22, 9 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Ok looks good, sorry for the slow response. I still find some of the present/future verb tenses in the last paragraph awkward ("20,000 troops stationed[...]" vs. "The toxins will eventually[...]") for an encyclopedic entry, but I think this has more to do with my personal preference and shouldn't impact the DYK nom.

 * Symbol question.svg Hi, I came by to promote this, but the hook quickly moves away from the main subject to a glacier and a mountain range. Could you write something more to the point about the river? Yoninah (talk) 20:51, 13 March 2019 (UTC)
 * This is probably promotionable; wait. &#x222F; WBG converse 11:03, 16 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Article rewrote in near-entirety. Struck hook which is factually inaccurate. &#x222F; WBG converse 13:38, 16 March 2019 (UTC)
 * ✅ Hook restored as every word is backed by inline sources. User:Winged Blades of Godric is clearly pushing his agenda and disrupting dyk and the article itself. 169.149.49.221 (talk) 04:27, 21 March 2019 (UTC)
 * The article creator having not edited recently, I have added some information and restored some content removed by WBoG. Can I suggest:-


 * ALT1 ... that the Nubra River rises from the Siachen Glacier, the second longest non-polar glacier in the world? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:31, 25 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Reviewer needed to check ALT1 hook; original hook has been struck due to previous concerns. It's probably also a good idea to recheck the article after the recent edits removing and adding content. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 16:16, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg The statement "Siachen Glacier the second longest non-polar glacier in the world" (in ALT 1 hook and article intro) is not sourced but merely has a footnote that looks like OR. It would be better to say "one of the longest mountain glaciers in the world", as per EB (ref. #1). --  P 1 9 9  ✉ 13:56, 10 May 2019 (UTC)
 * I have added a reliable source which backs the alt and the statement.  Mehra j Mir  (talk) 06:06, 13 May 2019 (UTC)

All issues have been addressed as far as I can see. Good to go for ALT1. --  P 1 9 9  ✉ 12:51, 13 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg Hi, I came by to promote this, but the text has a few tags. Yoninah (talk) 23:59, 14 May 2019 (UTC)
 * I have added notes and removed those tags.  Mehra j Mir  (talk) 04:22, 15 May 2019 (UTC)
 * I have done quite a bit of work on this article and would request that my name be added to the credits. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:15, 15 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Yes, please add to the credits as well for making this dyk to stand here.   Mehra j Mir  (talk) 05:44, 15 May 2019 (UTC)
 * So added. Yoninah, if your issues have been addressed, you can go ahead and promote. BlueMoonset (talk) 06:04, 15 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Thank you. Restoring tick per P199's review. Yoninah (talk) 22:44, 15 May 2019 (UTC)
