Policy compliance:

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: Yes
  • Interesting: Yes
  • Other problems: Yes
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Got GA status 5 days ago, so the article and its hook is okay. I omitted the word "rare" because the sources don't exactly state that this type of protest is rare in Singapore. If the nominator can provide source for the claim then I will reverse it. Mehedi Abedin 13:45, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

Well, according to Public demonstrations in Singapore, yes they are rare.--ZKang123 (talk) 14:03, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

@ZKang123: Need an inline citation, because that would be WP:OR if we accept the hook without inline citation that states it is rare or any kind of indication in the source. Mehedi Abedin 14:14, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

I think you don't understand. You need a source that clearly states or indicates that "the act of putting eight white cardboard elephants for Buangkok MRT station's opening is a 'rare' form of public protest in Singapore". The two sources you provided talks about rare protest in Singapore but nothing about eight white cardboard elephants for Buangkok MRT station's opening. Mehedi Abedin 05:36, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
