... that Dawa Dem was, and remains, one of the few women to have received the BhutanesehonorificDasho? Source: ("It [the NWAB] was established in 1981 and headed by Dasho Dawa Dem, one of the few women to have received the honorific title of Dasho" Mayhew, Bradley; Brown, Lindsay (2017). Lonely Planet Bhutan. Lonely Planet.)
ALT1:... that Dawa Dem was the first woman to join the Bhutanese civil service and to become Royal Advisory Councillor? Source: ("Dasho Dawa Dem is not only the first woman to join [the] Bhutan Civil Service but also the first woman to become Rabjam and Councillor" Dorji, C. T. (2008). 100 Prominent People of Modern Bhutan. Prominent Publications. p. 84.)
Article is expanded recently enough, is long enough, is original, is neutrally worded and carefully referenced. The hooks are present in the article with inline citations. Hooks are succinct, understandable and interesting, but I greatly prefer ALT1, because it expresses two interesting facts and the first hook says she "remains" the only woman with that title, but the source is from three years ago, so a hook about being the first is on more secure ground. "One of the few" is also less attention-grabbing than "the first". Nominator is relatively new and so does not have to provide a QPQ. Good work on improving English Wikipedia about politics in Bhutan! MartinPoulter (talk) 15:47, 29 September 2020 (UTC)Reply
No copyvios found in this article. However, in the infoxbox the dates are unsourced with my biggest problem being the dates for the Private Secretary, Royal Secretariat and Secretary, National Women's Association of Bhutan.
