Evaluation of Cell ablation article
This is where you will complete your article evaluation. Please use the template below to evaluate your selected article.


 * Cell ablation: (Cell ablation)
 * As technology advances and new techniques are developed for various treatments, new terms and names for these treatments are created. Recently developed techniques, like cell ablation, may not yet be defined in a manner that is easily accessible to patients who may want to learn more. Providing detailed and accurate explanations on widely accessible sources is important, and so I would like to contribute to evaluating the content being presented to the public.

Lead
The article does not provide a Lead, as it is posted simply as a definition. There is no introductory sentence as it is presented as a definitional page, resembling a dictionary entry rather than an encyclopedic one.

Lead evaluation
There should be an added Lead to introduce the topic, followed by more detailed content about the recent history of cell ablation, or a note that there might not be enough credible information published about it yet.

Content


The content of the article is brief, however relevant to the topic. All of the content presented serves a purpose within the scope of the article, but there is only one reference dated at 2001. This reference, although credible, is outdated and may not be presenting the entire scope of the topic with up-to-date information and research.

Content evaluation
As a whole, this article would benefit greatly from more information. The content presented reads as a simple definition, and does not illustrate a current account of cell ablation, nor does it present the recent history of the technique. Given that the original source is from 2001, it is highly likely that there is a wealth of publications from credible sources providing a much more in-depth analysis of the technique, its uses, and its efficacy, along with any potential disclaimers or setbacks.

Tone and Balance


The article has merit in that it is neutral, and serves to educate on the subject of cell ablation as opposed to making strong claims in favor of or in opposition to it.

Tone and balance evaluation
The author is successful in providing an unbiased account for the purpose of sharing helpful information.

Sources and References


The reference provided is a reliable source of information, a published article based on a research study. The link provided is accurate and works. However, there is only one cited source.

Sources and references evaluation
The source provided is credible, however there are not enough sources cited to lend overall credibility, verifiability, and notability to the article. The article would benefit significantly from a more cited sources, and more recently updated information.

Organization


The article is clear and organized, and only has a few minor grammatical errors which can be copyedited and corrected.

Organization evaluation
The article is clear and well organized but very concise, and could be expanded.

Images and media evaluation
There are no images or media presented with this article.

Checking the talk page


The Talk page has flagged the article as Stub-Class on the quality scale, and Low-importance on the importance scale of WikiProjects.

Talk page evaluation
The article is listed as needing additional citations for verification, and so far no edits or additional resources have been suggested or added via the Talk page.

Overall impressions


The article's overall status seems to be incomplete, and lacking in both credible content and verifiable sources. The article's strengths are its brevity and concise nature, however it would be improved with a higher amount of content and detail. This article is currently a definitional page, and needs more information to become a useful encyclopedic source. The article is well-developed but incomplete, and requires additional time, research, and citations.

Overall evaluation
The rating as a Stub-Class article indicates that the article still needs substantial work before being labeled and presented as a serious encyclopedic entry illustrating valuable and verified information to the general public.
