Comment - Seems to be promotional stuff. Article itself is not in good shape too. Capankajsmilyo^{(Talk | Infobox assistance)} 07:47, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Full review needed. Note that this is actually a 5x expansion dating from April 17 (three days prior to nomination) rather than an original article creation, which occurred back in March. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:59, 30 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Article has several content tags. Yoninah (talk) 14:26, 12 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Capankajsmilyo, BlueMoonset and Yoninah, sorry, for this poor DYK nom., this was first try and came out to be horribly wrong. The article needs serious touch, very poor in structure, informations, citations and serious copyedit required, simply nowhere near to get a DYK nom. I apologise for this foolishness and wasting valuable time of the editors here for reviewing this, my bad. This was not expected of me here, I should have taken this more seriously. Please close this as soon as possible. Drat8sub (talk) 01:15, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Drat8sub, thank you for letting us know. I'm closing this now as withdrawn by the nominator. Do try again in the future with a new article, now that you know what's involved. BlueMoonset (talk) 02:05, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Faulty Syntax Notice

Hello. I have just finished a major copyedit to the whole page. However, some bots had edited the page for faulty syntax while I was in the process. I'm pretty sure it'll get fixed soon, because a few bots have been visiting the page recently, but if not, just putting this out there as a notice.

Stripped span tag

This article includes the markup

{{String split | txt={{#statements:P1603}}|sep=" "|idx=-1}}

At the moment, :{{#statements:P1603}} evaluates to a long string ending

246,711, 249,259, 253,075

and therefore the above line of markup evaluates to

253,075

which generates a stripped tag lint error for . I don't know if the long #statements#P1603 string is always bracketed by an extra , or if that's going to be true only for a little while. If it's going to be true forever, somebody who knows string manipulation templates should fix the markup to eliminate the stripped tag. —Anomalocaris (talk) 22:23, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Reference errors in a complex template

The reference used for the sentence "As of 12 August, in Delhi 1,242,739 COVID-19 testing had been done in which positive cases are 253,075." (reference 80) contains two errors (an invisible character and a broken URL) but I can't fix them because of the overly complex template being used. Can someone fix this or convert the template to something that is easier to edit? Velayinosu (talk) 01:00, 9 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
