  • Is the slogan with commas or no (title issues)? Book section is uncited. Not sure notability is shown, so more discussion of the slogan itself would be nice. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 04:46, 10 March 2013 (UTC)
a) In the title I have followed Indian Express, Telegraph, Times of India's spelling and the spelling the politician used for her Bengali book with same title. b)Book section has been cited. c) discussion on the slogan has been expanded (and it'll be expanded more eventually)! --Tito Dutta (contact) 05:59, 10 March 2013 (UTC)
  • Okay, looking better. Two final comments: the quote in "theatre" should probably be paraphrased, and what relevance does this have to the Nandigram violence? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 09:40, 10 March 2013 (UTC)
  • a) I have removed the theatre quote b) Reading from Mamata Banerjee article- "The Nandigram violence was an incident in Nandigram, West Bengal where, on the orders of the Left Front government, more than 4,000 heavily-armed police stormed the rural area in the district of Purba Medinipur with the aim of stamping out protests against the West Bengal government’s plans to expropriate 10,000 acres (40 km2) of land for a Special Economic Zone (SEZ) to be developed by the Indonesian-based Salim Group. The police shot dead at least 14 villagers and wounded 70 more." This violence was one of the main reason for which 34 years Communist rule came to an end in the state where the slogan played an important role. Both the violence and the slogan had key roles there! --Tito Dutta (contact) 16:05, 10 March 2013 (UTC)
  • If some contextual information, pertinent to the slogan, were in the article I'd find it much easier to approve for a special occasion hook. Otherwise the article looks good to go. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 16:59, 10 March 2013 (UTC)
  • This violence was one the two most important issues and the slogan was the war cry to defeat 34 years' ruling communist party in West Bengal. I have added content related to the slogan in the Nandigram violence article. --Tito Dutta (contact) 17:24, 10 March 2013 (UTC)
    • Problem is, the average reader won't get the relevance. Just a bit of information about how the slogan helped win the election against the communists (stated explicitly; you only have "left front") in historical context (i.e. with a mention of how the communists had lost popular support because of this, this, and this), would go a long way. A single paragraph, supported by sources, like at Kubah, would go a long way. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 22:47, 10 March 2013 (UTC)
  • This section has been expanded! --Tito Dutta (contact) 02:27, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
  • Okay, looks good to go now for the requested date (14 March) — Crisco 1492 (talk) 07:58, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
