Which article are you evaluating?
Linnett double-quartet theory

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 chose this article because I found that it was an informative page on a less well-known topic in chemical bonding. This article is important because it helps readers understand the historical context of current bonding models. This helps avoid imagining that Lewis structures are the only simple bonding model that has been proposed. At first glance, the article appears thorough and easy to read. It is very well sourced.

The lead section is very good. In just two paragraphs, the purpose of the theory and its relationship to other theories of bonding is clearly presented. There does not appear to be any missing content. I felt satisfied that I had a complete picture after reading the article. While I am not an expert in the topic, the article read in a neutral way. It also clearly presented the advantages and disadvantages of this theory. This article is sourced very well. All facts are cited, and the article pulls from a wide range of sources. The talk page is empty, which likely means that this work is not being actively updated. It would have been valuable for the original author to share some comments in the Talk page. As a whole, this is an excellent article.
