Please? Can we not say "of its kind". I speak as the cleverest, tallest, fattest, thinnest, stupidest and smallest person "of their kind" when I tell you that the boast needs to more specific Victuallers (talk) 13:40, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

ALT 1 ... that Central Leather Research Institute, which was founded in 1948 in Chennai, is a leading institute in terms of research publications and patents? Mspraveen (talk) 06:24, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

Still far too vague. "Leading" among what group? Among all research institutes as a broad category? Among leather research institutes that happen to be located in Chennai? And how many publications and patents does one need to be "leading", anyway? —David Eppstein (talk) 21:39, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

ALT 2 ... that the ~~erstwhile~~ Madras State awarded 75 acres (30 ha; 0.117 sq mi) to the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research for the establishment of Central Leather Research Institute? Mspraveen (talk) 04:00, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

Length, date, and various aspects of this article check out, and this article was new enough at the time of its nomination to be eligible. I struck "erstwhile" from the hook, as it is a bit awkward within the prose. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 04:20, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
