 * Symbol possible vote.svg The article is too short, and contains less than 500 bytes of readable prose, which is all in the lead section. Please expand the article to have at least 1,500 bytes of readable prose. List and plot info do not count toward this total. —Ynhockey (Talk) 00:58, 23 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I've expand the article.___CAPTAIN MEDUSA talk   12:44, 23 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks, the length looks OK now, though I would still recommend expanding the article further. In any case, the article requires copyediting for grammar and style; I have added a relevant tag, this will likely be addressed by the guild of copyeditors. Feel free to post a request on their page to speed up the process. —Ynhockey (Talk) 13:28, 23 March 2019 (UTC)


 * I've fixed copyediting for grammar and style. ___CAPTAIN MEDUSA talk   13:24, 24 March 2019 (UTC)
 * It seems that the article is still not well-written, and contains many English language mistakes. I see that you have requested a review at GOCE though, I think we can wait until they help you. I might be able to do so at a later time, but then another reviewer needs to look at the nom. —Ynhockey (Talk) 18:28, 25 March 2019 (UTC)

 * Symbol question.svg Hi, I came by to promote this, but I do not understand the hook. What is a "Nepalese Hollywood film"? The source doesn't call it that, nor does Wikipedia's article about it. Also, the hook seems to be implying that it is the first Nepalese Hollywood film, while the article says it is Dhondup's first Nepalese Hollywood film. I suggest you fix this description in the article and try a different hook. Mentioning his background or studies in Los Angeles might lend themselves to a better hook.

 * ALT1 ... that Pema Dhondup directed his first feature film to explore dissatisfaction between Tibetan diaspora. Source: BBC News
 * I have added a new hook. ___CAPTAIN MEDUSA talk   11:56, 19 April 2019 (UTC)
 * you new hook doesn't make sense. "Between" implies a contrast between two things, not one. I also don't see the hook fact in the article. I fleshed out the biography and note that you are not making full use of your sources in writing the article. While I used his LinkedIn page for biographical details, you can look up these facts online and then credit them to other sources if you wish. Here is another hook idea:
 * ALT2: ... that Pema Dhondup studied filmmaking at the University of Southern California on a Fulbright scholarship so he could use the medium to tell the story of his "lost generation" of Tibetan youth? Yoninah (talk) 21:13, 20 April 2019 (UTC)
 * I like ALT2 the best but at 193 it's really long and probably could use some trimming. . Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 01:17, 31 May 2019 (UTC)
 * ALT2a: ... that Pema Dhondup studied filmmaking at the University of Southern California so he could use the medium to tell the story of his "lost generation" of Tibetan youth? Yoninah (talk) 18:19, 9 June 2019 (UTC)

 * Symbol question.svg I like ALT2a but the problem is that the article may still need some form of copyedit. The grammar is off at times and there are some improperly capitalized trademarks (such as the mention of Sony). Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 01:57, 10 June 2019 (UTC)
 * , I have fixed the capitalized trademarks.___CAPTAIN MEDUSA talk   12:15, 16 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Okay, I think we should be good to go with ALT2a. Rest of the review per above. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 11:59, 5 July 2019 (UTC) |}}
