I'm starting a review of this article
I'm starting a review of this article. I always like to ask one question early in the process. Is there someone who would be involved on behalf of the article? Sincerely,  North8000  (talk) 21:52, 3 March 2017 (UTC)

Discussion

 * Hi North8000. There seems to be a lot of WP:CITEKILL, just by looking at the introduction. I also read through it and tried looking up the information in the body paragraphs and it seems like the intro does not summarize the article appropriately, per WP:LEAD. There are also some unsourced paragraphs here and there. ComputerJA ( ☎  •  ✎  ) 17:05, 5 March 2017 (UTC)

I am inquiring about undoing the GA nomination
I am inquiring about undoing the GA nomination. Discussions are at my talk page and the GA nomination talk page. In short because it appears that nomination was out-of-process and premature. Any thoughts? Suggest putting them into the article talk page instead of the review in case the review gets deleted. Sincerely,  North8000  (talk) 17:11, 5 March 2017 (UTC)

Result of review
The is large article with an immense amount of material and references in it. It is also challenging for the editors because it must significantly cover some areas where there are current real-world disputes. The nomination was out-of process without discussion with the article's editors, and by an IP with a lifetime history of two edits, one to nominate this, and one to say that they did in a conversation that essentially said that this should be nominated because it is better than the India article. Just before that a lead editor expressed that much work was needed on the article and an intention to embark on that. Even a preliminary review spotted various areas that need work, a task too big to handle during a review process. Also, there was no response to my request to see if there was a person who intended to be involved in the review on behalf of the article. My only two choices are "pass" and "fail", and so for this article, my only only choice and result is the latter. This article shows an immense amount of excellent work, was nominated without discussion with the article's editors, and is simply not yet ready to be a GA. Keep up the good work!
