Ranjit Roy Chaudhury

 * ... that Ranjit Roy Chaudhury was the first Indian doctor to receive a Rhodes Scholarship?


 * Reviewed: Gaby Lewis
 * Comment: I found out that it was copied-and-pasted from a user's sandbox on 26 October 2015. It started on 25 October 2015. By the way, I have trouble finding another interesting hook, so this is all that I come up with. Also, it is currently nominated to be featured as part of ITN's Recent Deaths on the Main Page, but DYK rules won't prohibit the article to appear as part of Main Page's DYK.

 * Symbol question.svg Article is more than long enough (over 5000 characters) and new enough (created in main space on 26 October, nominated 31 October). As stated above, the article has appeared on the main page before but as per Articles linked at ITN or OTD not in bold, including the recent deaths section, are still eligible, it is fine. It uses inline citations and is neutral in tone. The hook is properly formatted, is of a good length and is interesting. However, the reference for him being the first doctor no longer exists. A quick google comes up with mainly websites that have copied from wikipedia but this one appears to be legit. This combined with the Rhodes House reference would make the hook appropriately referenced. QPQ completed.  Gaia Octavia AgrippaTalk  18:56, 25 November 2015 (UTC)
