Damodar Ganesh Bapat
- ... that Padma Shri awardee Damodar Ganesh Bapat helped around 26,000 leprosy patients? Source: "कहा जाता है कि बापट ने लगभग 26 हजार मरीजों की जिंदगी संवारी है" (Translation: It is said that Bapat had improved the lives of around 26,000 leprosy patients.) link)
5x expanded by DBigXray (talk). Self-nominated at 08:49, 18 August 2019 (UTC).
Article is new enough (recent 5x expansion), long enough, neutral, and well referenced. Hook is neutral and interesting. A few issues: 1) hook says "more than 26,000 patients", while source and article say "about" 26,000; 2) age seems incorrect: if he was born in 1936 or 1937, he was not 84 when he died; 3) wording of "Awards" section is too close to source and needs to be rephrased (see Earwig report); 4) QPQ needed. -Zanhe (talk) 04:07, 19 August 2019 (UTC)
