2021 Chandigarh Municipal Corporation election

  • ... that after Chandigarh fell from second place to sixty-sixth place in the list of cleanest cities in India, the residents voted out the ruling BJP party in the civic election? Source: "In 2016, Chandigarh was the second cleanest city in the country. But in 2021, the city dropped down to the 66th position, which was a source of major disappointment for the residents... the city’s poor performance in cleanliness was also one of the key reasons that led to BJP’s fall."

  • I'll review this. Please give me a while to read and check the article. Storye book (talk) 15:28, 6 January 2022 (UTC)


General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: None required.

Overall: A necessary political article - thank you Venkat TL. Three points:

  • (1) I have to question ALTs 0 and 1, because they are not written out as a clear cause and effect in the article, with source next to it. However , ALT2 is OK because it bears out in the article. If you could please write them out in full in the article with citations, then we can keep them as options.
  • (2) Please would you write the full name of the party next to its three-letter-form in brackets, the first time you mention each party in the main text? E.g. Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Then you can use the short form as many times as you like afterwards (this is for the main text only, not the infobox or tables).
  • (3) In the Elected mayor section, the second sentence can be removed. You have no source for it, and however much we might expect it to happen, there is no proof that it will happen in 2022 anyway. Storye book (talk) 16:08, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
    • Done (2) and (3). Will look at Suggestion (1) later. Venkat TL (talk) 16:19, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
  • Venkat TL, have you addressed point 1 yet or not? It has been four weeks without any further response here. I think requiring the issue to be fully addressed in the next seven days is reasonable under the circumstances. BlueMoonset (talk) 02:28, 3 February 2022 (UTC)
  • Storye book do you have any suggestion on how to improve the article for ALT0 and 1. It is sourced, but I am not sure how to resolve the concern. Need help. ALT2 is already in the article with the source. Can you please clarify what exactly is missing and how to fix to make the article fit for ALT2. Thank you for the patience, BlueMoonset and Storye book. Venkat TL (talk) 09:38, 3 February 2022 (UTC)
  • Thank you for alerting me to this, BlueMoonset and Venkat TL. I would simply put the wording of ALT 0 or 1 at the end of the BJP section, with the citation that you have given above. Please ping me when you've sorted it so that I can complete the review. Storye book (talk) 11:03, 3 February 2022 (UTC)
  • Storye book, thanks for the kind suggestion. I have added ALT0 wording in the BJP section with the ref. Please review. Venkat TL (talk) 14:42, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
  • Thank you, Venkat TL. Good to go with ALTs 0, 1 and 2. My own preference is for ALT1 because it's amazing that the city got so dirty so quickly, and there's a moral story in the last bit. Great hook! Storye book (talk) 14:53, 9 February 2022 (UTC)'
