Migrant workers in Doha, Qatar

~~... that concerning the treatment of South Asian labourers in the Gulf Cooperation Council region, hundreds died in Qatar from working in hot temperatures?~~ ^[1]
- ALT1:... that many of these migrants were brought into the GCC under the kafala system, a sponsor based system used in the GCC, which is seen by many human rights groups as highly exploitative? ^[1]

5x expanded by Zakaria1978 (talk). Self-nominated at 03:51, 10 February 2021 (UTC).[reply]

Comment Zakaria1978, thanks for your work on this article! However, expansion is measured in readable prose and the article's readable prose has not been 5x expanded since creation. Since the size prior to recent additions was 1439 characters, the article needs to be at least 7195 characters of readable prose to be eligible. It currently stands at 5036 so expansion is definitely doable. (t · c) buidhe 03:59, 12 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

buidhe, I added more info.[1] Zakaria ښه راغلاست (talk) 02:53, 13 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Article is now at 7645 characters. CMD (talk) 03:38, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Full review needed now that article has achieved a 5× expansion. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:02, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

ALT1a:... that many South Asian migrants are brought into the Gulf Cooperation Council area under the kafala system, which is seen by human rights groups as highly exploitative?

This interesting article is new enough and long enough. The image is appropriately licenced, the hook facts for ALT1 are cited inline, the article is neutral, and I detected no copyright issues. I have rewritten this hook as ALT1a. The ALT0 hook is unsuitable as the hook facts do not appear in the article, so I have struck it. A QPQ has been done.
