2008 Karnataka-Tamil Nadu hooch tragedy
edit... that the 2008 hooch tragedy is considered as the worst hooch tragedy in India in this century?
Created by Gfosankar (talk). Self nominated at 13:47, 21 October 2013 (UTC).
Article is new enough and long enough. However, the hook fact is not supported by the source. The source lists the death tolls from a number of hooch tragedies, and it is clear that this killed more people than any of the others on the list, but the source doesn't ever say that this one was considered the worst in this century. Also, the article needs some copy-editing, and it should give some indication of what it was about the liquor that killed people (this source suggests that it was made with industrial ethanol that was denatured by the addition of poisonous methanol). This will be a good candidate for DYK after some more work on the article, plus a revised hook. --Orlady (talk) 15:55, 21 October 2013 (UTC)

- I just did some minor cleanup of the article, mostly fixing grammar and some spelling. Also, would like to propose the following alternative as a bit more interesting:
- ALT2: ... that after 180 people died from drinking poisoned moonshine in 2008, the state of Tamil Nadu considered introducing prohibition?
