Re-nominating the article, as I couldn't complete it last time due to being tested positive for COVID. I have tried to solve the issues mentioned last time (except 1-2 things which I am currently doing).  Saha ❯❯❯  Stay safe    09:07, 14 April 2021 (UTC)

Comments from Nikkimaria
Source review - spotchecks not done. Version reviewed.
 * "Horse races were initially organised for the British cavalry" - this is implied by the text but not explicitly supported
 * done: Changed races to events  Saha ❯❯❯  Stay safe  </b> </b> 19:09, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
 * The same issue exists with that, though: the text says horse events were popular with the cavalry, and then goes on to say organised races were held at Akra, but doesn't explicitly say that they were organised for the British. Nikkimaria (talk) 18:42, 1 May 2021 (UTC)


 * "RCTC-organised races were among the most important social events of the bigwigs' calendar" - source?
 * "At the opening of the Christmas..." <b style="border:1px solid black"> <b style="color:#FF0000">Saha</b> ❯❯❯ <b style="color:#0043AF"> Stay safe  </b> </b> 19:09, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
 * That sentence states that Christmas race week was an important social event; it does not say that races (plural) were "among the most" important. Nikkimaria (talk) 18:42, 1 May 2021 (UTC)


 * "the Calcutta Derby Sweeps, organised by the RCTC, was the world's largest sweepstake in the 1930s" - given the note about potential miscalculation, is this claim adequately supported?
 * FN29 doesn't link to anything
 * What makes racingpulse a high-quality reliable source? puronokolkata? Bhattacherje? Golf Doctor?
 * How to determine a source as high-quality reliable source? <b style="border:1px solid black"> <b style="color:#FF0000">Saha</b> ❯❯❯ <b style="color:#0043AF"> Stay safe  </b> </b> 07:30, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
 * See this guidance. Nikkimaria (talk) 12:53, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
 * 'PuronoKolkata' article is backed by sources. Racingpulse is managed by journalist. 'Golf Doctor' is from The Charlotte Post. <b style="border:1px solid black"> <b style="color:#FF0000">Saha</b> ❯❯❯ <b style="color:#0043AF"> Stay safe  </b> </b> 17:56, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
 * The Golf Doctor source is supporting a historical claim rather than any sort of contemporary account for which a journalistic source would be more likely to be presumed notable. Being managed by a journalist doesn't automatically make something reliable. Regarding puronokolkata, how do we know that sources have been correctly interpreted? What is the expertise of the author? Are there fact-checking procedures in place? And what about Bhattacherje? Nikkimaria (talk) 18:42, 1 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Basu has a typo in location

 * It has the name as 'Kolkota' while all others use 'Kolkata'. Nikkimaria (talk) 12:53, 25 April 2021 (UTC)

 * When are you including publication location?
 * Was unaware of this. <b style="border:1px solid black"> <b style="color:#FF0000">Saha</b> ❯❯❯ <b style="color:#0043AF"> Stay safe  </b> </b> 07:30, 25 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Check alphabetization of Sources - sometimes you're including "The" in the alphabetization and other times not
 * The newspapers.nl.sg links don't appear to be working
 * There are no citations to the Obituary in the Sources list, and the link is broken.
 * done: removed it. <b style="border:1px solid black"> <b style="color:#FF0000">Saha</b> ❯❯❯ <b style="color:#0043AF"> Stay safe  </b> </b> 07:23, 25 April 2021 (UTC)

Coordinator note
There seems to be little sign of this gathering a consensus to promote. If it has not attracted more interest by the time it has hit the three week mark I am afraid that it is liable to be archived. Gog the Mild (talk) 12:29, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
