Phantom cat

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I picked phantom cat because I saw the cryptid category in the c-class articles and thought it would be interesting to evaluate a cryptid article. I chose Phantom Cat specifically because it was a cryptid I had not heard of and it sounded like it could be cool. My preliminary impression was that I was very confused on what the article topic actually was. The article also feels very empty.

Lead Section

The lead section is not great. It only contains two sentences though the first one is a decent explanation of the article topic the lead section overall does not give enough of an explanation about the article's content.

ContentThe article is certainly lacking content. It needs to possibly provide theories as to why the phantom cats appear or something as most sections just state a phantom cat was spotted and that's all it states.

Tone and Balance

No issues here as the article basically just states places where phantom cats have been spotted.Sources and References

Sources look fine. Most seem to be news articles talking about the spotting of the phantom cats.

Organization and writing quality

The article is actually organized well with each sighting being in a section based on area. Writing quality seems okay.

Images and Media

Very lacking only one picture in the article and it could use more. The image could be placed better.

Talk page Discussion

There seems to be some confusion as to what the article is about and how to categorize it.

Overall Impressions

I feel like this article is very lacking. The article provides very little information about phantom cats and could do a better job discussing each of the sightings and possible explanations of how big cats came to be in these places if there are articles that go into this topic.
