All India Anglo-Indian Association president Frank Anthony

• ... that the All India Anglo-Indian Association (president pictured) has sixty-two branches throughout India? Source: "I am privileged to head the All India Anglo-Indian Association, the oldest and largest registered body of Anglo-Indians in India ... our association currently has 62 branches across 20 states/UTs in the country ... we have as many as 6 branches in Chennai alone and each of them has between 300 and 1000 members."
  • ALT1:... that the All India Anglo-Indian Association (president pictured), which represents the Anglo-Indian community of India, has sixty-two branches throughout the country? Source: " I am privileged to head the All India Anglo-Indian Association, the oldest and largest registered body of Anglo-Indians in India ... our association currently has 62 branches across 20 states/UTs in the country ... we have as many as 6 branches in Chennai alone and each of them has between 300 and 1000 members."
  • ALT2:... that the All India Anglo-Indian Association hosts an annual hockey tournament each year? Source: "...endurance of such activities as the All-India Anglo-Indian Association annual hockey tournament suggests that sport continues at times to function as a means of perpetuating and consolidating the community."
  • ALT3:... that the All India Anglo-Indian Association holds that Anglo-Indians are unique because they are Christians and have heritage from both Britain and India? Source: "The usual list (found in scholarly works, such as my own PhD thesis) of key characteristics differentiating Anglo-Indians from other communities in India is: having English as their mother tongue, acknowledging their historical link to Europe and being Christians. (The All India Anglo-Indian Association argues that this characteristic is crucial to their identification as Anglo-Indians."

• @Anupam: The full review could probably be left to another editor, but I'll just be leaving my two cents here. Firstly: the article is just barely above the 1500 character requirement so while not required it could use a little more original content considering there are several quotations in the article. Secondly: neither hook seem to be that interesting, it might be better to write a hook about the " The All India Anglo-Indian Association holds that Anglo-Indians are unique in that they are Christians, speak English as their mother tongue, as well as have a historical link to both Europe and India." angle.

User:Narutolovehinata5, I have expanded the article further today, hopefully to your satisfaction. I will add an alternate hook that might be more interesting for you. I hope this helps. With regards, Anupam^Talk 19:14, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

Thanks. ALT3 might be the best option right now, but it could still use a bit of paraphrasing to make it not seem too close to either the article text or the source quote you gave. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 23:50, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

You're welcome User:Narutolovehinata5! I changed the wording a little bit; kindly let me know if you'd like to submit the review now. I hope this helps. With regards, Anupam^Talk 23:55, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

Thanks. ALT3 however is 212 characters (above the 200 character limit) and so may need to be trimmed further. I'd suggest focusing mainly on the Christian and ancestral heritage parts since those are the most eye-catching. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 09:16, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

User:Narutolovehinata5, I have trimmed ALT3 as you have suggested. I hope this helps. With regards, Anupam^Talk 18:20, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

Sounds good. I've struck the other hooks but will leave the full review to another editor. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 02:33, 21 June 2020 (UTC)

• Since no one else has taken a look at this, I'll be doing the full review. Article is long enough, new enough at the time of the nomination, with ALT3 (the only approved hook) being cited inline and verified. Assuming good faith for the source, although the snippet seems to check out. QPQ has been done. As for the image, I'm not sure about its relevance to the hook so it might be better to leave it out.
