Evaluate the article
The lead section provides a general, clear description of the concept in the first sentence. The article does not mention topics that will be mentioned later. The lead paragraph does include that the term 'boyar' continues today as a last name but the article doesn't elaborate on this further. Overall the lead is very concise. The content is relevant to the topic of the article. There is some content that is missing in the English version that is present in the Russian version such as more detail on the role of the boyars in Russia and the hierarchy within the boyar rank.

The article doesn't have any heavily biased claims however the 'Boyars in Wallachia and Moldavia' section is significantly larger and more detailed than the other sections. The article seems well organized and has few grammatical errors. Some sources are unrelated to the main purpose of the article such as the etymology of the word boyar. This is the main topic of discussion on the talk page as well.

The images are clear and labelled properly.

Overall, the article is solid but is lacking some information. Some of the text could be reformatted for easier understanding. Some sources are unnecessary and unrelated to the focus of the article. I would assess the article as underdeveloped.
