| General: Article is new enough and long enough |

Policy compliance:
- Adequate sourcing:
- Referencing is generally good and from independent and reliable sources. While checking the hook citation, I noticed the rest of the paragraph (In 2009, Tarawa and her family...) was not supported by the citation given.-
fixed. - Neutral:
- Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing: -
Checked with Earwig's Copyvio Detector, which returned a possible violation in relation to several lengthy quotes in the article. Per WP:QUOTE, overuse of quotes, especially long ones, is discouraged and may be better paraphrased in prose.- fixed. - Other problems: -
A merge request is currently under discussion; the DYK cannot proceed until this is closed.- merge request closed.
Hook eligibility:
- Cited:
- Interesting: - The hook doesn't feel "hooky" enough to me. Gloriavale isn't unique in telling its members they will go to hell if they leave.
| QPQ: Done. |
Overall: 
Article length and age are fine, and reliable sources are used. However, there is a possible copyvio issue, and the hook doen't feel "hooky". This is my first solo QPQ, so second opinions and feedback are welcome. Lcmortensen (mailbox) 10:44, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
- Comment I have requested for the merge request to be closed because it has found a clear consensus. Nexus000 (talk) 23:32, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
- @Lcmortensen: Thanks for the review. I've paraphrased some quotes to address the plagiarism concern. You are right, the audio in the source cited does not support the rest of the paragraph. @Nexus000: where did you get that information? Is it from her book? If so, cite that.
- ALT1: ... that "everything got stricter" in the Gloriavale Christian Community after Lilia Tarawa left with her family?
- I'm also open to other hook suggestions. feminist (talk) 04:27, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reply to feminist The part about her belief that leaving Gloriavale would send her to hell comes from the Radio New Zealand source you guys identified. The first part of that paragraph on Lilia's article on leaving Gloriavale with her family members, the 3 siblings who already left, and her parents being told they are sinners came from here: https://www.nowtolove.co.nz/news/current-affairs/ex-gloriavale-member-tells-of-life-inside-the-cult-34255
- I've been struggling with reusing the same reference and don't want to cite the same reference multiple times, which is why it wasn't referenced.
- Much of this media coverage is to promote her book and she is likely repeating things which appear in the book, as is usually the case in a book launch. I have found a few references from her website which reiterates the belief that outsiders would go to hell: https://www.liliatarawa.com/interview/

- The book description asks "Would she be damned to hell for leaving?" so I'd say there is a high chance these thoughts are elaborated on in the book itself. This is new territory for me, but if you wish, I am willing to buy the eBook and search for quotes which reaffirm the information you are after. Nexus000 (talk) 05:40, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
- The referencing issue is minor and easily fixed. My local library has a copy, but its onb loan, so I can't fix it myself. The original hook is much more "hooky" compared with the alternate hook, and I may have been a little bit harsh in my critique, so
with the original hook. Lcmortensen (mailbox) 08:31, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks for the review. I realize this is a minor issue, but shouldn't this be a green tick? The RNZ source cited is online and non-paywalled, and states
Lilia Tarawa fled Gloriavale after years of believing that to do so would mean she would go to hell.
It fully supports the original hook. feminist (talk) 16:53, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
