Afrikaanderwijk

... that the number of accidents in crowded neighborhoods like Rotterdam's Afrikaanderwijk earned the tram service the nickname "The Murderer"?

The expansion is recent and it's long enough. Can't check the hook fact, as my Dutch is way too poor for that. The article is lacking in sources, though. The DYK rule of thumb is that you need at least one source per paragraph. You'd also need to reference the lead section, as it does not (as it should) summarise the article's content, but has content that is not contained in the body of the article (to clarify - the lead not summarising is not the issue here; the issue is that the content of the lead is not referenced).

Also, as per my Dutch standards, the tram service was called "The Murderer" in general, not only because of the accident. — Legolas ^(talk2me) 13:51, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

The above issues (insufficiently referenced; hook fact not confirmed) have not been addressed in the last 10 days, so unfortunately this nomination will have to be declined. Schwede 66 20:50, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
