Hook

Article

Comments/discussion: All but two references are from the institute's own website, and the other two references are from the website of an aquarium the institute operates. The article needs third-party, independent sources (mainly to establish notability, but also just because that's the only way to be sure there's good, reliable information in the article). I won't go as far as to challenge notability on the article itself yet, because I don't know what the notability standards and guidelines are for research institutes (that is to say, I don't know what sorts of references would be expected to demonstrate that a research institute is notable on Wikipedia), but in any case the article as it is is not suitable for DYK. rʨanaɢ (talk) 00:55, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • I've changed the hook. Actually, the article does cite a third party source [2] --Epipelagic (talk) 08:27, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • That looks like basically a directory entry; I'm not sure how far it goes towards establishing notability. In any case, one independent source out of 20 is not enough; the number of independent sources needs to be increased and the number of non-independent sources needs to be reduced. rʨanaɢ (talk) 10:36, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I put the icon up in the review template before; just adding one down here to make it clear that I consider this nomination rejected. rʨanaɢ (talk) 19:02, 29 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The nominator is working on improving referencing and I am willing to re-evaluate this nom. I do believe it can be rescued. Materialscientist (talk) 13:13, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It was already five days old when nominated and it's only getting older. rʨanaɢ (talk) 20:50, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
This does not matter, what matters is when the review was completed, which is less than allotted 7 days. The nominator has asked to reconsider and is trying to address the problem. I believe we must cherish all attempts to collaborate with the DYK reviewer and improve the article as a result of the review. This way we improve and use the reviewer time more efficiently.
