I thik this article should not be in category :convicted rapist and serial killer. as it was never proved.. it was just alleged he was rapist and serial killer. nothing was proved in any court... [[User:imdabs|Amit Амит अमित ਅਮਿਤ]] ([[User talk:imdabs|talk]]) (talk) 12:06, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I think this article should be rather named as '200 women lynching, Nagpur' or 'Usha Narayane and the 200 women mob'. Highlighting the culprit does not serve any purpose. The perpetrators must rather be remembered than the criminal.

I will be reviewing this article. So far it seems GA-quality to me, but I'd like to ask you though to email me the pages you used of the print source Stackhouse (2007) for verifiability. Is that okay with you, Statik N? Psiĥedelisto (talk • contribs) ^{please always ping!} 13:28, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Psiĥedelisto what source? is it a book i cited? also i can't use my email for privacy reasons Statik N (talk) 02:14, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Statik N: The source is, as mentioned, Stackhouse (2007). Cite note 4 as of revision 966223753. If email doesn't work for you, what would? Twitter DM? Discord? I suppose you may also simply upload to Imgur as only one page is cited, page 120. For future reference you can make a ProtonMail e-mail for free and without providing your real name. It may require a phone number, last I knew it did not, but if it does, that would only be given to ProtonMail, I wouldn't see it.

Psiĥedelisto I sadly can't find the pdf i read it on. Statik N (talk) 02:49, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Statik N: This is quite a problem, because before asking you, I searched it on Google Books.[1] It says, No results found in this book for Yadav. I want to be sure this isn't a WP:FICTREF. I'm not accusing you of anything—I don't think it is. But, I want to be sure, before I pass your article. Best, Psiĥedelisto (talk • contribs) ^{please always ping!} 02:57, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Statik N: My reading of the consensus outcome of the above discussion is that only the infobox photo has a credible claim to passing the WP:NFCC. Please remove the other photos (they'll be automatically deleted by a bot if not being used in any articles). Psiĥedelisto (talk • contribs) ^{please always ping!} 00:05, 25 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

Passed. A well written, interesting article about a serial killer who corrupted several Indian police officers. I always love to see authors buck the WP:BIAS trends, and do so without sacrificing on article quality. See discussion above for what problems were solved during review process. Psiĥedelisto (talk • contribs) ^{please always ping!} 02:40, 25 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism):

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

   Some more work could be done in this regard, but Yadav was, per all the sources, a horrible person, and is long deceased, so it is not as critical as it would be in a WP:BLP.

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

6. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

Result: Delisted (t · c) buidhe 12:06, 11 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The lead of the article has no references. The first 2 paragraphs of the Crimes section break WP:PARAGRAPH, as they are both large enough to be broken into multiple paragraphs for easier readability. WP:TONE is frequently broken, and the article reads more like a collection of anecdotes from various people than it does an encyclopedic entry. A single Guardian article is used to cite 13 different portions of the article when there should be more information cited from varied sources. There are only 2 pictures throughout the whole article (excluding the one in the infobox).

In my opinion, this article shouldn't be listed as a Good Article, and may require extensive cleanup in order to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RajanD100 (talk • contribs) 19:21, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• I took a look at this article and the biggest problem is WP:TONE. It has been written in a very casual, informal, and non-encyclopedic manner; I'm not sure why or how this was recently passed as a GA. Here's an example of what I mean: "Meanwhile, Yadav continued to pound on the door and threaten her [...] Narayane shouted back insults, and Yadav responded with descriptions of how he would rape, burn her with acid, and murder her. Yadav and his men tried to break the door down. In response, Narayane turned on a cylinder of gas that the family used for cooking and grabbed a match. She warned that if they broke into the house, she would light the match and blow herself and all of them up. The criminals smelled the gas and left Narayane alone. [...] The neighbors heard about what Narayane had done and were now willing to go after Yadav. Soon there were many angry Dalits on the streets, and they started to pick up sticks and stones. People threw stones at Yadav's associates. His men saw the crowd's mood and fled. The Dalits marched through the slum and celebrated. On 6 August 2004, they went to Yadav's house and burned it down. Yadav now feared for his life and went to the police for protection; they arrested him for his own protection on 7 August 2004. Yadav's mother vacated his house. On 7 August, Yadav was due to appear the city district court and 500 slum residents gathered. As Yadav arrived, one of his men tried to pass him knives wrapped in a blanket; the police failed to notice this. After the women protested, the accomplice was arrested, and Yadav was taken back into custody. He threatened to return and teach every woman in the slum a lesson." Unless someone can rewrite this article, I suggest delisting it. L150 21:15, 13 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
