Evaluate the article

This article has a clear introductory sentences that leads into the topic well. The lead section concisely and briefly describes major sections of the article while not including irrelevant information. That being said, the article only contains a lead section, while not delving into more in depth information about many of the topics. Instead it provides links to other wikipedia articles. This could be an issue as it is likely that not all the articles were evaluated for quality. Also this article only has two sources other than wiki articles. These sources are peer reviewed suggesting reliable source material, but two sources is very low. On the talk page this article was rated as start class with high importance in one section, and start class with mid-importance in the other two. No conversations on the talk page can be seen, suggesting that this article was made independently without a lot of collaboration. I would suggest first, more primary source research is completed, and then using these sources to divide the article into clear and concise sections with specific information about every aspect of the topic instead of just linking to wiki articles.
