Age

[edit]

Usedtobecool, If Thakuri is born in 1942 he would be 77 or 78 but the sources say he 80 or 92. Should we just remove the birth date or can we agree on something? ~~ CAPTAIN MEDUSAtalk 16:09, 1 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

CAPTAIN MEDUSA, to me, it seems like the news reports were hurriedly prepared and there was some guestimating and/or approximating involved along the chain. The Who's who was written when there was no such hurry, but they could have carelessly translated to AD from BS which can easily mess one year. I am thinking 90+ is surely a mistake; we could go with "early 1940s" in the body, and drop it altogether from the lead sentence. Usedtobecool ☎️ 16:18, 1 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
On an unrelated note, how is Jeewan Rekha not a bluelink? Usedtobecool ☎️ 16:20, 1 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The English sources agree on 80. [1] [2] [3]. ~~ CAPTAIN MEDUSAtalk 16:24, 1 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Created by CAPTAIN MEDUSA (talk) and Usedtobecool (talk). Nominated by CAPTAIN MEDUSA (talk) at 14:21, 2 June 2020 (UTC).[reply]

  • I shall do the full review- it is eligible as been on Recent Deaths but not ITN as a bold hook (this also confuses the DYKcheck automated script)
  • ☑Y Article is long enough (1918 characters), new enough (created 1 June, nominated 2 June), and article is within policy. AGF on most of the sources, as they are in Nepalese, but clicking on the links, they look like reliable sources
  • ☑Y Hook is short enough, interesting (100 is a lot!), and well supported by [4] (which is in English, so I can verify)
  • ☑Y QPQ done
  • Overall, this nomination passes, congratulations. Joseph2302 (talk) 16:30, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
