• Article was new when nominated, and although it jumps the length barrier, its hooves clip the bar a bit - I'm getting 1590 characters. The hook is 137 characters and interesting - but it doesn't sit right with me. It almost seems 'anti-Laos'. I don't know how you could get a hook out of this article that doesn't instantly portray Laos in a negative light - can another reviewer take a look at this? --TKK ^{bark !} 21:58, 10 July 2013 (UTC)

This one is too brief and again, mistates the sources; since the nominator no longer wishes to work on the article, it's time to decline it. Gatoclass (talk) 12:05, 20 July 2013 (UTC)
