Death of Angira Pasi

  • ... that the police initially refused to register the death of Angira Pasi? Source: "Human Rights Watch calls on Nepal government to ensure justice for caste-based killings". The Kathmandu Post.
  • ALT1: ... that as recently as May 2020, 13-year-old girl Angira Pasi was married to her alleged 25-year-old rapist by the community?

  • Comment: I did some copy edit of the article. I feel it could use some more mention of the victim being a Dalit, a low caste. – Reidgreg (talk) 12:08, 9 August 2020 (UTC)
  • Some of the sources are missing dates of publication. On content, the note above by Reidgreg seems pertinent if discussed by sources, and the article should state who called HRW. On the proposed hooks, I feel both lack a round context for the situation. I don't have any suggestions for it right now, but I believe something better can be crafted while still conveying similar messages. CMD (talk) 04:30, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
  • ALT2: ... that as recently as May 2020, 13-year-old Nepali girl was raped and later married to her alleged 25-year-old rapist by the community and was found dead the next day?
Chipmunkdavis, Maybe this could work? ~~ CAPTAIN MEDUSAtalk 12:17, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
That's more a summary of the article than a hook, and feels a tad polemic. I think a useful hook should pick on one fact, such as the original suggestion of the police refusal, or the new note of the community marriage decision. This is a sensitive topic, and we should exercise due care in putting it on the main page. CMD (talk) 13:25, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
  • Comment: I do not see how this article follows WP:BLPCRIME. Saying "alleged" everywhere is not enough, I think. The alternative hooks, especially the second one, are also bad in this regard. PJvanMill)talk( 22:40, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
Hi there CAPTAIN MEDUSA Chipmunkdavis any progress on this? VincentLUFan (talk) (Kenton!) 06:29, 12 September 2020 (UTC)
Vincent60030, Can't seem to find a "great" hook.~~ CAPTAIN MEDUSAtalk 11:14, 13 September 2020 (UTC)
  • Striking inappropriate hooks and proposing this alt:
  • ALT3: ... that residents of Devdaha, Nepal, decided that a 13-year-old girl should marry her 25-year-old rapist? Yoninah (talk) 13:20, 13 September 2020 (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: Done.
Overall: Yoninah et al., I completed a review of this article and the ALT3 hook, and I find that they meet DYK criteria. The ALT3 hook details a significant event that occurred prior to Ms. Pasi's death, and its content is supported by three verifiable sources. The image of Ms. Pasi in the article is fair use, with an appropriate rationale provided for its use in this article. The article is "readable prose size" at 2466 characters (402 words), and it was published by CAPTAIN MEDUSA on July 25, 2020, the day on which it was nominated for DYK. All content in the ALT3 hook and the article is sourced from reliable sources with archived links. Please note that I relied upon a translation tool in order to verify the Ekantipur.com source, which is in Nepali. West Virginian (talk) 00:34, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
