Nobel laureates of India

 * Nominator(s): -The Herald • the joy of the LORD my strength 17:58, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because I have developed this from a piece of junk and array and made it up to meet FL status. Each entry is well cited from trusted sources and all are fine to roll it out. Thanks..-The Herald • the joy of the LORD my strength 17:58, 4 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Oppose for now. The lead needs serious work. There is a quotation in the first sentence but no source is given. Also Nobel Prizes are not awarded to contributions to mankind in the previous year, they are often awarded many decades after the contributions. The lead needs to better summarize the individuals on the list. Also the section on Mahatma Gandhi is interesting and worth noting, but perhaps can be summarized and inserted into the lead rather than a section all on it's own. As it is now it stands out rather oddly. Mattximus (talk) 00:32, 6 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Done. -The Herald • the joy of the LORD my strength 02:51, 6 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Not quite, the quotation you have in the first sentence is not found in the reference you cited. Also all references should have more complete cite web categories. And the lead still needs a good rewrite, for example "Instituted by Alfred Nobel's last will, which specified that his fortune be used to create a series of prizes, the Nobel Prize is widely recognized as one of the most prestigious honors awarded in the aforementioned fields" is a hard to read passive sentence which should be more clearly written. The Ghandi part is better now that it is in the lead, but has too much weight. The rest of the lead could be expanded better summarizing the list, or that section could be shortened.

 * I have sprinkled some Britannica dust and removed the superfluous statement on Gandhi. The lead is rewritten to remove passive-excess. With cites, do you mean that all cites should be web-cites? Please more clearer. Thanks..-The Herald • the joy of the LORD my strength 13:06, 6 May 2015 (UTC)
 * I think he meant that the references should have more info provided such as who the publisher was, author, date, accessdate for each source. An example is that the references to the nobel prize only have title, url, accessdate and nothing else. Cowlibob (talk) 01:04, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
