I think this article should be rather named as '200 women lynching, Nagpur' or 'Usha Narayane and the 200 women mob'. Highlighting the culprit does not serve any purpose. The perpetrators must rather be remembered than the criminal.

@Statik N: The source is, as mentioned, Stackhouse (2007). Cite note 4 as of revision 966223753. If email doesn't work for you, what would? Twitter DM? Discord? I suppose you may also simply upload to Imgur as only one page is cited, page 120. For future reference you can make a ProtonMail e-mail for free and without providing your real name. It may require a phone number, last I knew it did not, but if it does, that would only be given to ProtonMail, I wouldn't see it.

@Statik N: This is quite a problem, because before asking you, I searched it on Google Books.[1] It says, No results found in this book for Yadav. I want to be sure this isn't a WP:FICTREF. I'm not accusing you of anything—I don't think it is. But, I want to be sure, before I pass your article. Best, Psiĥedelisto (talk • contribs) please alwaysping!02:57, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Statik N: My reading of the consensus outcome of the above discussion is that only the infobox photo has a credible claim to passing the WP:NFCC. Please remove the other photos (they'll be automatically deleted by a bot if not being used in any articles). Psiĥedelisto (talk • contribs) please alwaysping!00:05, 25 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)
Passed. A well written, interesting article about a serial killer who corrupted several Indian police officers. I always love to see authors buck the WP:BIAS trends, and do so without sacrificing on article quality. See discussion above for what problems were solved during review process.

Some more work could be done in this regard, but Yadav was, per all the sources, a horrible person, and is long deceased, so it is not as critical as it would be in a WP:BLP.
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
The lead of the article has no references. The first 2 paragraphs of the Crimes section break WP:PARAGRAPH, as they are both large enough to be broken into multiple paragraphs for easier readability. WP:TONE is frequently broken, and the article reads more like a collection of anecdotes from various people than it does an encyclopedic entry. A single Guardian article is used to cite 13 different portions of the article when there should be more information cited from varied sources. There are only 2 pictures throughout the whole article (excluding the one in the infobox).
I took a look at this article and the biggest problem is WP:TONE. It has been written in a very casual, informal, and non-encyclopedic manner; I'm not sure why or how this was recently passed as a GA. Here's an example of what I mean: "Meanwhile, Yadav continued to pound on the door and threaten her [...] Narayane shouted back insults, and Yadav responded with descriptions of how he would rape, burn her with acid, and murder her. Yadav and his men tried to break the door down. In response, Narayane turned on a cylinder of gas that the family used for cooking and grabbed a match. She warned that if they broke into the house, she would light the match and blow herself and all of them up. The criminals smelled the gas and left Narayane alone. [...] The neighbors heard about what Narayane had done and were now willing to go after Yadav. Soon there were many angry Dalits on the streets, and they started to pick up sticks and stones. People threw stones at Yadav's associates. His men saw the crowd's mood and fled. The Dalits marched through the slum and celebrated. On 6 August 2004, they went to Yadav's house and burned it down. Yadav now feared for his life and went to the police for protection; they arrested him for his own protection on 7 August 2004. Yadav's mother vacated his house. On 7 August, Yadav was due to appear the city district court and 500 slum residents gathered. As Yadav arrived, one of his men tried to pass him knives wrapped in a blanket; the police failed to notice this. After the women protested, the accomplice was arrested, and Yadav was taken back into custody. He threatened to return and teach every woman in the slum a lesson." Unless someone can rewrite this article, I suggest delisting it.L15021:15, 13 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
