Hi I will review this article for GA and make minor changes myself. Major comments I will put in here. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 04:07, 2 January 2017 (UTC)
 * No disambiguations found.
 * Checklinks gives no red alerts.
 * See also section with 9 entries is way to big. If many of those are very generic or covered in Template:Jainism topics (transcluded below) or Template:Jainism (transcluded above at the start) then they simply should be deleted. reduced to 5. -- Pankaj Jain Capankajsmilyo (talk · contribs · [//tools.wmflabs.org/xtools-ec/?user=Capankajsmilyo&project=en.wikipedia.org count])  05:32, 10 February 2017 (UTC)
 * "Recent Case" section is pure trivia and should be deleted.
 * Entries in "References" should be arranged alphabetically by last name of author's name.
 * Various online references have just url, title and publisher filled in. date of publication, accessdate, author, place and other such things should be filled in.✅
 * Use "sallekhana" everywhere instead of "sallekhanā". And use it in italics. Also replace "santhara" or other synonyms with "sallekhana" except in the lead. ✅
 * Remove the "Historical examples" section and merge it at the start of "In practice" section. ✅
 * The "In practice" section has a see also hatnote to Doddahundi nishidhi inscription but that is not mentioned anywhere in prose. if relevant, it should be mentioned. If irrelevant it should be removed from hatnote too. ✅
 * A study of similarities between other religions is missing. If there are other religions which have same or similar practices; Prayopavesa in Hinduism, Sokushinbutsu in Buddhism and so on...✅
 * WP:ALT is missing on all images. ✅
 * All 5 files used are appropriately licensed on Commons.
 * By mentioning the 2015 case in lead we are going into recentism. Not suggesting to remove it, but historically how the vow has been observed should go in lead too.
 * Hi I have put the GAR on hold status as some major content addition points are mentioned above. Please do those and then we can take it further. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 10:35, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I've addressed most the issues raised here. Can you please have a look again . -- Pankaj Jain Capankajsmilyo (talk · contribs · [//tools.wmflabs.org/xtools-ec/?user=Capankajsmilyo&project=en.wikipedia.org count])  08:19, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
 * No! Unstruck points have not been resolved yet. Also, the point about "similarities between other religions" is quite a crucial wherein a lot of prose needs to be added. I see no point in reviewing this further when more prose addition is expected. Please do the needful, and actually do it rather than just claim, and then ping me. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 08:46, 30 January 2017 (UTC)

Retirement
Capankajsmilyo, Dharmadhyaksha has just announced their retirement. I took a look at the edit history here, and don't see that you've made any edits since the final comment above on January 30: the unaddressed issues are still unaddressed, including the additional prose. Unless you plan on making those requested edits very soon, I think the best thing will be to close this review and nomination as unsuccessful. You'll have plenty of time to work on the article based on the comments above, and can renominate the article when you've brought this much closer to GA level. If you do make the requested edits, we can return this to the editing pool to find a new reviewer. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:11, 10 February 2017 (UTC)
 * I think the points raised have been adressed now. Please have a look and let me know if anything else is required. -- Pankaj Jain Capankajsmilyo (talk · contribs · [//tools.wmflabs.org/xtools-ec/?user=Capankajsmilyo&project=en.wikipedia.org count])  06:49, 21 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Capankajsmilyo, I'm not interested in pursuing the review myself. However, since you have addressed the points, I will be returning the nomination to the editing pool with no loss of seniority, so it can find a new reviewer. Best of luck. BlueMoonset (talk) 01:13, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
