Balyan family

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
Hopefully I chose a correct article, but the reason I chose this article is because I used to study architecture when I first graduated high school and dreamed of design in some form or another. Architecture is a structural art form that provides accommodation, comfort, and with the right design, efficiency and beauty. I am a fan documentaries and have watched some based on the ottoman empire and its architecture. The Balyan Family has been mentioned in some of those documentaries and I thought this would be a good opportunity to learn more about the subject.

Evaluating Content:

The first paragraph works fine as an introduction, however when it comes to "Ancestors" both sections feel lackluster in information about the subjects they title. The sub section "Magar the Architect" is more about the sons, who grew to be architects and have a more detail section dedicated to themselves, than the titled subject.

For the section of "Krikor Balyan" an unnecessary mention of a friend Amira Bezjian is included which is not explained therefor has no important connection to the article.

For the section of "Senekirim Balyan" the wording for "remained in the background" should be either further explained or different verbiage should be used.

"Nigoğayos Balyan" states "he founded also a school", I believe that should be re-worded. I think a link to the reason 2 of these family members were exiled should be included for further information.

This article, though small, uses neutral language with balanced viewpoints. There are many citations needed throughout the article and 3 of 8 references cited come from the same publication and author.

Talk Page Check: A conversation of Constantinople and what to call it before and 1930 is included with citations along with disagreeing perspective. This article is a part of 3 wiki projects.
