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


 * GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

The article has some good content but it is very small and I was surprised to find that it was a GA. If it were a current GA nominee, I would quick fail it. Size and sourcing are both major concerns. There are some unreliable sources (#4 - YouTube, #10 - IMDb) and not enough sources talking about interracial kisses or race and television, rather just about specific shows. It's very much not clear that Hot Summer Night really was the first televised interracial kiss and lead sentences like "Competing claims have also been made in favour of I Love Lucy" are not sourced or discussed later in the article.
 * 1) It is reasonably well written.
 * a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
 * 1) It is factually accurate and verifiable.
 * a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR):  d (copyvio and plagiarism):
 * 1) It is broad in its coverage.
 * a (major aspects): b (focused):
 * 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 and other media, where possible and appropriate.
 * a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
 * 1) Overall:
 * Pass/Fail:

Content is also an issue: there's no talk of how reception was to the interracial kisses at the time, or how it is seen today. There's no mention of countries other than the UK or US. There's no broader historical context of race relations in the UK or U.S. at the time, or what the constructs of race even were at the time. Overall the article is perhaps C class but certainly not at GA standards. I will leave this review open for seven days and improvements would be much appreciated, but there is a lot of work to be done on the article. — Bilorv (he/him) (talk) 22:48, 10 May 2019 (UTC)
 * , it has been more than 7 days. Could you update/close your review? --MrClog (talk) 13:42, 2 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Sorry, completely forgot about this one. Only a single edit has been made to the page since the GAR was opened and it fixed a typo. There are still serious issues in the article which mean it fails multiple GA criteria, and I am thus delisting from GA. — Bilorv (he/him) (talk) 15:04, 2 June 2019 (UTC)
