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

In order 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 September 25, 2008, 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.


 * This article falls way short of the current good article criteria, most particularly in its failure to cover the major topics of its subject. I do not even believe that it met the GA criteria when it was originally passed as a GA.


 * Was Public Netbase always funded by the City of Vienna, and the City of Vienna alone? What about New Culture Technologies, how was that funded?


 * What was the extent of the public funding? How was it spent?


 * "Its lease at the Museumsquartier was not renewed after the controversial remodelling period in 2000 ...". What controversial remodelling?


 * "... it faced a series of audits and other bureaucratic obstacles ...". It's quite normal to be asked to asked to account for how public funds are spent. Why were Public Netbase unable to satisfy the authorities?


 * Was there any reaction to the closedown of Public Netbase? What happened to its founders?
