Beirut V – Minet El Hosn electoral district[edit]

Beirut V electoral district

Created by Soman (talk). Self nominated at 10:28, 15 February 2015 (UTC).

Article is new enough and long enough. Map is correctly licenced. Shouldn't the article title be "Beirut V - Minet El Hosn electoral district"? Hook is correctly formatted. There is too much information in the lead that is not in the rest of the article. The lead should be a summary of the rest of the article and hence unreferenced. I can work out from the content that the hook is probably correct and we have a ref for the fact that the districts changed after the election but nothing about the creation of the district that support the claim it was used only once. Perhaps it needs a section on the creation of the district? Article is well referenced. AGF on foreign language and offline sources. Most of the refs are offline in fact as the links are to Google pages without preview. I detected no copy vios or close paraphrasing. Will be good once the lead is fixed and the hook fact is more explicitly stated in the article in one place. Philafrenzy (talk) 10:34, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
Article moved to Beirut V – Minet El Hosn electoral district and lead rewritten. --Soman (talk) 11:30, 8 March 2015 (UTC)
I still don't see the second part of the hook fact stated explicitly in the article with a reference? Philafrenzy (talk) 21:16, 8 March 2015 (UTC)
Do you want to try an alternative hook? Philafrenzy (talk) 18:44, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
For me, the second half of the hook is mentioned in the article, and has references. It says (with reference) that it was created for the 1953 election and that (with reference) the districts were reorganized for the subsequent 1957 election. --Soman (talk) 19:18, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
Well I was hoping for a statement in the article that supported the hook in one place with a ref behind it but I guess its OK to assemble the hook from different parts of the article so I am going to tick it. Philafrenzy (talk) 19:53, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
