Tenzin (The Legend of Korra)

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article from the C-Class articles list for several reasons. Firstly, I am very familiar with the Avatar universe as I have consumed much of the media that compose it. Tenzin is one of the major characters in the second generation of the Last Airbender story, given that he is one of the last direct descendants of the Air Nomads, the Airbending mentor for Avatar Korra, and descendant to Avatar Aang and Katara (daughter of the Southern Water Tribe chief). With just a brief overview, I can tell there are a few significant aspects of the character missing.

Evaluate the article
The lead section of the article is missing essential elements to Tenzin's character. It contains important information, like the show he is in, who he was voiced by and who he was created by. However, the lead is rather wordy while not stating the purpose of the character. While there is thorough mention of his familial ties to the leads of the first Avatar series, there is nearly no mention of his role in Legend of Korra, which is the series he is introduced in. The pictures included seem adequate. The Appearances section is very long and detailed, but the grammar is convoluted and sentences are unnecessarily long. The reception section seems to be taking into consideration both the positive and negative feedback towards the character, although the sources are a little scarce. I checked several of the links, and they are functioning. Many of the sources are from transcripts of the show itself, which I believe is fair since this is a character overview.

Generally, the later parts of the article need a lot of polishing in the writing itself, and a major makeover for the lead section to give readers a better idea of the character himself. The talk page has many reworkings of the grammar, and it seems to be interested in continuing that path.
