5x expanded by Cinosaur (talk). Self nominated at 08:05, 24 June 2014 (UTC).
- This substantial article is a fivefold expansion. It is new enough and long enough. The hook facts have inline citations to offline sources and are accepted in good faith. QPQ has been done. I was unable to form a view on whether there were any policy issues because I did not have access to the sources. My only quibble is with the word "ascetic" in the hook where the article and wikilink use "Goswami". Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:51, 3 July 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks for the review, Cwmhiraeth. It was tough finding a proper wikilink for "the seventh goswami" part of the hook, because the word "goswami", that needs an explanation, primarily means a monastic ascetic, or a sannyasi, but the existing article on Goswami explains it as a surname, so I did not want to link it to that. On the other hand, the subject's epithet "the seventh goswami" was conferred on him in reference to the Six Goswamis of Vrindavana, who were definitely ascetics. So I tried to combine the explanations, by linking the word "goswami" to the Six Goswamis but piping it to "ascetic". However, I agree that this part of the hook reads a bit quirky. Do you have a suggestion? Is Alt1 any better? Regards Cinosaur (talk) 13:32, 3 July 2014 (UTC)
- Or else, "the seventh goswami" can be wikilinked to the relevant section of the main article: "the seventh goswami" (renounced ascetic). See Alt2. Which one is better? Cinosaur (talk) 15:00, 3 July 2014 (UTC)
I think ALT1 is best, so I have struck the other two. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:05, 3 July 2014 (UTC)
