~~... that according to Dawn, language of US official Donald Lu at a farewell lunch with the then Pakistani ambassador allegedly bordered like political interference in Pakistan, but USA denied?~~ Source: https://www.dawn.com/news/1685395/farewell-lunch-triggered-lettergate-dispute
- Comment: More source links are made available at the article talk and there seems further scope for expanding the article.

Earwig not working. New enough, long enough, no QPQ needed. Article sourced. Hook needs some work. Article needs copy editing. I red through it and could not figure out what it was about. I suggest more clearly stating the issue in the lead. Perhaps submit this to the GOCE. --evrik ^(talk) 18:03, 4 May 2022 (UTC)

Alt1 ... that according to former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan, a diplomatic cable sent by Pakistani ambassador to the United States Asad Majeed Khan, contains proof of the United States involvement in the vote of no-confidence against him. -- Hindustani.Hulk (talk 23:01, 4 May 2022 (UTC)

I don't think either hook can run under the current wording per the "unduly focuses on one side of an issue" criterion. They also don't sound very neutral. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 04:02, 5 May 2022 (UTC)

@Hindustani.Hulk: Looking forward to needful improvements as suggested by reviewers so your article can get DyK opportunity. Thanks Bookku, 'Encyclopedias = expanding information & knowledge' (talk) 10:26, 5 May 2022 (UTC)

Submitted the article Lettergate @ WP:GOCER#Lettergate as recommended. Bookku, 'Encyclopedias = expanding information & knowledge' (talk) 10:37, 5 May 2022 (UTC)

Please let us know when that is done. ALt1 is better, but are there any other hook ideas? --evrik ^(talk) 13:07, 5 May 2022 (UTC)

IMO, there is reasonable scope and opportunity for User:Hindustani.Hulk to expand the article further and also make it neutral. And such expansion likely to open more hook ideas.

I got interested in DyK for this article because it brings forth how politicians play politics and a political process (in Pakistan or else where) takes shape.

I would be very reluctant to link to this article from anywhere on Wikipedia, let alone the main page. The article does not explain what it is about. I left notes on the talk page and a few {{clarify}} templates. This article needs explanation and development, not copy editing of existing prose. – Jonesey95 (talk) 16:48, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

I'm willing to give this a limited time to get edited into shape. --evrik ^(talk) 18:54, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

I'm not thrilled with this piece. Is it notable? Is it well written? Anyone else want to weigh in? --evrik ^(talk) 17:45, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

--evrik ^(talk) 02:22, 23 May 2022 (UTC)

Sorry for the state of the article. While listing the article I had included some content with neutral point of views and collated a collection of refs for further expansion of the article. And expected more eyes on the article shall help neutral contributory environment but that does not seem to happen. So it's okay to close the request as unsuccessful as of now. Thanks to User:evrik and others.
