User:22alia/Evaluate an Article

Which article are you evaluating?
Neurobioengineering

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because it is related to bioengineering, the field of the class I am taking, and I have a strong personal interest in this topic.

Evaluate the article
There are many flaws I noticed with the article:


 * The lead sentence does not adequately introduce the topic, instead talking about a college program entitled "neruobioengineering". There is a sentence one paragraph later that is much closer to what I would expect from an opening sentence.
 * There is no introduction of the article's major sections in the lead
 * Reading through the whole article, I'm a little confused; this page's title sounds like it should have to do with the discipline within bioengineering, but it seems like the article is just about one particular program at the University of Genova. In that case, is this even notable enough to have its own article?
 * The information in the lead is not contained anywhere else in the article
 * The "History" section seems like it starts in the middle; if the first paragraph of the lead was moved to this section, it might flow better.
 * More than half of the references are for one sentence in the lead, all consisting of papers by Dr. Gratarolla. The rest of the article has very few sources cited at all, and several of the sources are directly related to the University of Genova and its faculty.
 * There is very little detail given in any of the sections of the article. The details given only talk about the program at Genova itself, and the School of Neuroengineering that was founded as a result of this program. There is no discussion about the discipline itself, or the impact that this college program had on studies of this discipline
 * There are no images in the article whatsoever.
 * Multiple issues have already been identified in the article header, specifically the unprofessional tone. However, there is no discussion on the Talk Page about these issues, where the only post is from a bot that added an Archive link.

This is a very poorly written article at this point. I am not sure that there needs to be an article on a program at the University of Genova at all, in which case, it might be best to cut the entire article. If the article does exist, it should have more sources from outside references that more clearly indicate the impact of this program on the bioengineering world at large. In addition, more source are needed for a lot of the information. If an article with this tile was to be written on the discipline of neruobioengineering instead, all the information currently included in the article could be summarized in the "History" section.
