... that Dithapelo Keorapetse was named Speaker of the National Assembly of Botswana shortly after having lost his bid for election to the legislature?

Source: Daily News via Facebook ("DITHAPELO KEORAPETSE SPEAKER OF THE 13th PARLIAMENT ... Mr Keorapetse was MP for Selebi Phikwe West for two terms from 2014-2024 ... He did not succeed in his bid to win the constituency for the third time in the October 30 general elections.")

Comment: The source for the hook, although Facebook, is from what appears to be the official account of the newspaper Daily News Botswana, thus I think it is probably reliable.

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy compliance:

Adequate sourcing: - The sixth paragraph (and the hook) do take a Facebook image caption as the basis for the paragraph. Yes, it's from a news source, but we could do better by citing a news article that has the same information (i.e. that he lost his seat but nonetheless became speaker).
Neutral:
Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook eligibility:

Cited: - The sixth paragraph (and the hook) do take a Facebook image caption as the basis for the paragraph. Yes, it's from a news source, but we could do better by citing a news article that has the same information.
Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: If you add the news source where we currently have a Facebook image caption as a citation (and also note it for the hook), we should be good to go. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 07:23, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

He was involved in an alleged cyberbullying incident in 2019 (page 36). Up to writer's discretion on whether to include in the article. Bremps... 04:37, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As far as DYK goes, there's no requirement that it be a complete article. But I agree that BeanieFan11 should take a look at that source and decide what to do. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 04:22, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Red-tailed hawk: I swapped the one reference. As for the cyberbullying incident, do you think its worth mentioning? I can't seem to find what he actually said; although the Sunday Standard did publish an interview with the victim who described it as posting "pictures from my Facebook page" for "sick humour." Should I add something like "Keorapetse was involved in an alleged cyberbullying incident in 2019, being reported to have ridiculed journalist Tirelo Ditship on social media, and he was condemned by several media organizations for it."?
