• Article violates WP:PEACOCK by calling him "prominent". --SupernovaExplosion ^Talk 13:26, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

• I disagree, I don't find it to be a peacock term in this context. 'Prominent' does not carry the significance like 'great', 'legendary', etc.., which would be typical peacock terms. --Soman (talk) 13:35, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

• "Prominent", like "famous", is a vague label. "Well-known" is probably a more neutral term. Also, I'm not sure about the reliability of Tripura Today. Asking for a second pair of eyes. --SupernovaExplosion ^Talk 13:39, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

• The hook is cited to People's Democracy (newspaper). I'm not sure how reliable party organs are. --SupernovaExplosion ^Talk 13:41, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

• But considering the level of violence in Tripura during this period, the claim is hardly extraordinary. If objectionable, is there any ALT suggestion? --Soman (talk) 19:39, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

• If this is a point of contention, why not simply add "reportedly" to the hook? ▫ JohnnyMrNinja 07:08, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

• How about ALT1: "... that Scheduled Castes leader Sukumar Barman served as Tripura state minister for transport and fisheries?" ?--Soman (talk) 19:16, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

• The article is long enough, and was nominated the day after it was created. However, the references require more information (date of access, date of publication, author name, and any further information availabe). The use of "prominent" appears to be justified, and backed up by a couple of the sources in the article. The article would benefit greatly from an infobox, although this isn't a necessity for DYK.

• Infobox added, and references are now cleaned up. Needs a second look.-- Esemono (talk) 08:20, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

• Everything looks good now. --Orlady (talk) 22:06, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
