Re-nominating the article, as I couldn't complete it last time due to being tested positive for COVID. I have tried to solve the issues mentioned last time (except 1-2 things which I am currently doing).  Saha ❯❯❯ Stay safe  09:07, 14 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Source review - spotchecks not done. Version reviewed.

  • "Horse races were initially organised for the British cavalry" - this is implied by the text but not explicitly supported
  • The same issue exists with that, though: the text says horse events were popular with the cavalry, and then goes on to say organised races were held at Akra, but doesn't explicitly say that they were organised for the British. Nikkimaria (talk) 18:42, 1 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • "RCTC-organised races were among the most important social events of the bigwigs' calendar" - source?
  • "the Calcutta Derby Sweeps, organised by the RCTC, was the world's largest sweepstake in the 1930s" - given the note about potential miscalculation, is this claim adequately supported?
  • FN29 doesn't link to anything
  • What makes racingpulse a high-quality reliable source? puronokolkata? Bhattacherje? Golf Doctor?
  • 'PuronoKolkata' article is backed by sources. Racingpulse is managed by journalist. 'Golf Doctor' is from The Charlotte Post.  Saha ❯❯❯ Stay safe  17:56, 25 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • The Golf Doctor source is supporting a historical claim rather than any sort of contemporary account for which a journalistic source would be more likely to be presumed notable. Being managed by a journalist doesn't automatically make something reliable. Regarding puronokolkata, how do we know that sources have been correctly interpreted? What is the expertise of the author? Are there fact-checking procedures in place? And what about Bhattacherje? Nikkimaria (talk) 18:42, 1 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Basu has a typo in location
  • When are you including publication location?
  • Check alphabetization of Sources - sometimes you're including "The" in the alphabetization and other times not
  • The newspapers.nl.sg links don't appear to be working
  • There are no citations to the Obituary in the Sources list, and the link is broken.

Coordinator note

There seems to be little sign of this gathering a consensus to promote. If it has not attracted more interest by the time it has hit the three week mark I am afraid that it is liable to be archived. Gog the Mild (talk) 12:29, 3 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
