- Comment: Possibly a more interesting hook could be made from her arrest. But I would be concerned by BLP issues, particularly as the charges were later dropped
Moved to mainspace by Dumelow (talk). Self-nominated at 12:32, 11 November 2017 (UTC).
Long enough, new enough, neutral, well referenced, and free from copyright concerns as far as I can see. The hook is supported by inline citations and a QPQ has been done. I agree that advertising her arrest on the main page would not be a good idea as far as BLP is concerned, even if it was overturned. 97198 (talk) 11:44, 15 November 2017 (UTC)
Sorry, the hook reads like a resume. Perhaps you could find additional biographical details about her that could lead to a better hook. Yoninah (talk) 23:43, 26 November 2017 (UTC)
- How about: ALT1: ... that Gambian politician Sirra Wally Ndow-Njie met with North Korean president of the Supreme People's Assembly Kim Yong-nam in 2010? That strikes me as fairly unusual with NK being quite an insular country. But if not I don't mind if this nomination is dropped. Not all articles are interesting, after all! - Dumelow (talk) 06:15, 27 November 2017 (UTC)
