GA Reassessment
The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the reassessment.''

I will be reassessing this article to determine whether it still meets the Good Article criteria. Any user is encouraged to assist in improving the article to keep it up to GA standards. Thanks. PCN02WPS ( talk  &#124;  contribs ) 18:34, 2 July 2022 (UTC)

Lead

 * The article is orange-tagged as a whole, which could qualify for a quickfail but I will do the full review anyways in hopes that it can be salvaged.
 * Content in the lead should not be directly sourced; rather, it should be repeated and expanded upon in the body of the article and sourced there.
 * Republican Party (United States) is double-linked in the lead - this is not necessary
 * "and introduced more party members to the Republican party" → phrased as if the people are already members of the party; also "Republican Party" should be capitalized

Notable Organizations

 * "Organizations" in the section header should be lowercase
 * Links should be to the College Republican National Committee and the College Republicans United, rather than including the parentheses and abbreviations in the link as well. I'd be cautious about describing an organization as notable if it is a redlink, as well, as that is often used as the working definition of "notable" in instances like this
 * "As of 2021, notable independent state College Republican organizations include" → this should be updated to 2022. Also, again, "notable" is iffy here given only two are linked.

Governance of organizations

 * "The College Republican National Committee (CRNC)," → this abbreviation has already been given twice, no need to explain or define it again, just use it
 * "The CRNC National Chairman and his or her national" → "his or her" to "their" for simplicity
 * "College Republicans United (CRU)" → this abbreviation has already been given two or three times, no need to define it again, just use it
 * "The state federations of New York, Texas, Mississippi, and North Dakota, as well as the federation for U.S. territory of Puerto Rico" → link New York, Texas, Mississippi, North Dakota, and Puerto Rico
 * "and the national College Republican National Committee" → use the initialism

Notable members

 * Orange-tagged for lack of citations, which seems appropriate given there's only one
 * "Matt Wiltshire, Guinness World Record holder for most political utilizations" → seems like a stretch for "notability", given he's not linked
 * There is inconsistency between "US", "U.S.", and "United States"

Activities

 * "During election season, campus chapters are responsible for organizing and implementing the campus canvas" → canvassing is mentioned above already
 * The entire first paragraph is unsourced
 * "Members use door-to-door canvassing" → mentioned now twice already

Referencing issues

 * Author of Ref 2 and 8 doesn't have to be linked since it's a redlink and there are other authors who aren't linked at all
 * Links should be added to all website fields where applicable
 * While Twitter is not the absolute worst source to be using for these sorts of things, it would be much better to find something more reliable, especially given that only two of the five Twitter sources come from verified accounts.
 * I have run a script to convert all date formats to mdy, so that is taken care of.

Overall review conclusion
WP:GAR states that An individual assessment may be closed after seven days of no activity. As there has been no activity on the review for seven days, I am closing the review. My conclusion is that the article fails GA criteria 1a, 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d, and 3a at least, and therefore will be delisted. If improvements are made in the future, and the article is brought up to par, it can be renominated for GA. PCN02WPS  ( talk  &#124;  contribs ) 01:16, 10 July 2022 (UTC)
