Review of revision 4874814 [Passed]
[edit]  |
Revision 4874814 of this article has been reviewed by Gryllida (talk · contribs) and has passed its review at 14:30, 20 August 2025 (UTC).
Comments by reviewer: 1. "Pakistan-administered" Kashmir or "India-controlled" (depends on which source you read) Kashmir was affected, but is not mentioned in the report. 2. Last paragraph was probably AI generated and needs some revision to reduce bias and make it more factual. Please revise within next 12 hours, to allow time for a reviewer to approve your edit. The reviewed revision should automatically have been edited by removing {{Review}} and adding {{Publish}} at the bottom, and the edit sighted; if this did not happen, it may be done manually by a reviewer. |

Proposed retraction
[edit]This article contains no attribution, meaning every statement is presented in Wikivoice, asserted by Wikinews.
Additionally, several key statements are unsupported by the sources provided (emphasis added):
- "Survivors described the floods as sudden and catastrophic..."
- "The scale of destruction was unprecedented..."
- "...with dozens of villages damaged or flattened..."
- "The recent flash floods in Pakistan amid heavy monsoon rains have caused one of the deadliest natural disasters in the region..."
- "...amid worsening weather conditions..."
The review summary noted that the last paragraph was “probably AI generated and needs some revision to reduce bias and make it more factual,” meaning the bias was recognized at the time of publication. A 12-hour window was provided for revisions, but the issues were not addressed. Since the article still contains unsupported statements and lacks attribution, and more than 24 hours have passed, the problems cannot be corrected without a substantial rewrite, which WN:ARCHIVE prohibits. Therefore, a correction statement is insufficient; the article should be fully retracted, with its content blanked and replaced by a retraction notice.
Given the issues with WN:NPOV, WN:Source, and WN:Archive, I propose this article be retracted.
