Checking against GA criteria
To uphold the quality of Good articles, all articles listed as Good articles are being reviewed against the GA criteria as part of the GA project quality task force. While all the hard work that has gone into this article is appreciated, unfortunately, as of February 13, 2010, this article fails to satisfy the criteria, as detailed below. For that reason, the article has been delisted from WP:GA. However, if improvements are made bringing the article up to standards, the article may be nominated at WP:GAN. If you feel this decision has been made in error, you may seek remediation at WP:GAR.


 * GA review (see here for criteria)

This article needs a comprehensive re-write to bring it anyway near GA standard. I am de-listing it, major contributors and projects will be informed. Jezhotwells (talk) 23:44, 13 February 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) It is reasonably well written.
 * a (prose): b (MoS):
 * The article is rather bitty containing many short paragraphs and some lists. The lead does not adequately summarise the article. Some sections, e.g. history appear to be unrelated lists of trivia.
 * 1) It is factually accurate and verifiable.
 * a (references): b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR):
 * Fixed some dead links but more remain, not retrievable at the Internet archive. I used this tool; The goecities site (a dead link) is not a RS.
 * 1) It is broad in its coverage.
 * a (major aspects): b (focused):
 * The history section is sadly lacking in real history. Why is the United Playaz listed as a school organisation?
 * 1) It follows the neutral point of view policy.
 * Fair representation without bias:
 * 1) It is stable.
 * No edit wars, etc.:
 * 1) It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
 * a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
 * Why is a sports badge used in the infobox?
 * 1) Overall:
 * Pass/Fail:
