The article date, hook content, and length all look fine, but a question: The site that the hook uses as a source is mkgandhi.org. Does this site meet WP:RS requirements? — Hunter Kahn 18:54, 18 February 2016 (UTC)
- It is a report from a charitable organization. One could debate whether it is a WP:RS.
- However, there were multiple sources for the hook. These newspapers and news organizations unquestionably are WP:RS. Shaikh, Zeeshan (January 9, 2008). "Real-life Munnabhai, in Nashik jail". Hindustan Times. Nashik. Retrieved 2016-02-14.
The 30-year-old once had 19 cases of assault and extortion against him. He now swears by non-violence. The transformation, much like the character of Sanjay Dutt in the blockbuster movie Lage Raho Munnabhai, is thanks to Mahatma Gandhi.

"Current News: 'IBN7 Zindagi Live National Award' for Laxman Gole who regrets life of Crime to become Gandhian Practitioner". www.mkgandhi.org. IBN. Retrieved 2016-02-14. - Here also is the video of the award itself from IBN7: "Laxman Gole award" (video). IBN7. Retrieved February 18, 2016 – via YouTube. I added that as a reference.
- I trust that should render your inquiry a moot point. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 22:20, 18 February 2016 (UTC)
