I’m concerned with the overall quality of the writing. There are several passages containing broken, unclear, or confusing language, and I have to agree with the tag regarding undue weight. This is certainly a valid topic for an article, but this article seems a bit narrow and focuses only on a few specific organizations. This does not necessarily disqualify from from DYK, but it isn’t optimal to have such an article featured on the main page. Also, please provide a source which directly verifies the hook.

Hi Beeblebrox, I'm currently working on this for an educational assignment and so am in the midst of heavily revising this article. I will work to address the issues with writing quality as well as undue weight as I expand on this article and improve upon it. Hopefully then it can be optimal. I also fixed the hooks up a bit more to hopefully make it more interesting and added citations. How quickly do I need to revise this article to still have it up for consideration?

 * Once you’re “in the system” so to speak I think you’re good as far as timing, there isn’t really a deadline. Beeblebrox (talk) 04:22, 23 October 2018 (UTC)


 * The nominator hasn't edited in over a week; have your concerns been addressed? If not, and/or the nominator doesn't return soon, I will mark this for closure. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 03:53, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
 * The hook and alt are now cited, so that’s half of it, but the article itself hasn’t been improved. I’m afraid they took my comment about timing a bit too literally, obviously it is expected that the issues will be fixed at some point but it looks as though they’ve walked away for now.

 * Hi all I am working on it today and over the next few days/this week to improve the article itself. I've been unable to work on it because of school. Happy to get any more feedback and  as I revise. Will let you both know once I've reached a good point with this article. Wickersong (talk) 15:49, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
 * and I've revised the article quite a bit. Please review and let me know whether there's anything else I should fix in order to perfect my nomination for DYK Wickersong (talk) 16:04, 14 November 2018 (UTC)


 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg New reviewer needed; it has been over a month since the reviewer or (pinged) checker has been here. Reviewer should be sure to check previously raised concerns have been sufficiently addressed. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 22:58, 17 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Not a full review, but through a cursory skim through the article, it still reads more like a policy paper of some kind than an encyclopedia article. The hooks still aren't too interesting, and seem to focus more about other subjects than the topic of the article itself. Suggesting that hooks about entrepreneurship in South Asia itself be proposed. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 00:31, 15 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Note: the nominator hasn't edited the article, or at all on Wikipedia, since 15 November. As this was for a university course for which a grade will already have been given, it seem unlikely any further edits will be made. Beeblebrox, Narutolovehinata5, I think it's time for a final assessment. If there are minor issues, then perhaps one of you can address them; if there are deeper and/or structural issues that prevent its passage, it should probably be closed as unsuccessful. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 16:26, 22 January 2019 (UTC)
 * As I mentioned above, the article still felt very promotional, and the hooks proposed aren't really hooky. If agrees, I think closing this would be the best option moving forward, as I'm not sure if another editor would be willing to address the neutrality issues.

 * Symbol delete vote.svg Beeblebrox having bowed out on their talk page and the nominator having been inactive for over two months, the issues raised by Narutolovehinata5 regarding the article and hooks after Wickersong's mid-November revisions are enough to keep this nomination from qualifying for DYK. Marking it for closure. Narutolovehinata5, given your concerns, you may wish to tag the article with a neutrality template. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:19, 27 January 2019 (UTC)
