Which article are you evaluating?
Henry de Loundres

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 as it was a relatively obscure page that had enough information to work with for a proper evaluation. It matters to evaluate this article of Henry de Loundres in particular because it is an article that takes itself seriously and has adequate information to be adequate enough to not be marked for deletion. My preliminary impression of the article is that although it highlights several aspects of Henry de Loundres' life, it is in need of revision for further elaboration upon its topics which are barebones.

Evaluate the article
Lead section

Although the lead has an introductory sentence, it only briefly describes the contents of the article of Henry de Loundres having been the Archbishop of Dublin. However, the lead itself is not particularly distinguishable from the rest of the article's contents as it lacks any major sections. The lead comes off as barebones and hardly feels like a lead as it blends in with the rest of the article's content rather than acting as a concise overview.

Content

The entirety of the article's content is relevant to the topic as it discusses a handful of positions held and events from Henry de Loundres' life. There is the possibility of the article being not up-to-date due to some of the sources no longer being functional. Content that seems to be missing from the article is a diagram listing Henry de Loundres' successor of being the Archbishop of Dublin who is only named "Luke" without further information.

Tone and Balance

The article is neutral and has no claims that come off as biased or attempting to persuade the reader in favor or against its subject. None of the viewpoints are overrepresented or underrepresented in particular due to the lack of detail.

Sources and References

The only facts that are not backed up by a reliable secondary source of information is the last sentence describing Loundres claiming to be the Archbishop of Armagh, the diagram naming Loundres' predecessor and successor for the position of Archbishop of Dublin, and the caption describing the article's only image as having been arms displayed by Loundres.

Organization and writing quality

Despite using proper grammar and spelling, the article is very poorly organized with no sections due to the lack of any outstanding major topics. The article is also a bit too concise as it has the bare minimum of details concerning the aspects of Loundres' life that were brought up.

Images and Media

The article includes only one image which shows the arms displayed by Loundres at the signing of Magna Charta. It is adequately captioned but the caption in question fails to be relevant to the article due to the event it is referring to hardly being brought up in the article itself. However, the image is notably positioned well in relation to the rest of the content.

Talk page discussion

Although the article has absolutely no conversations, it is of interest to the WikiProjects of "Biography: Politics and Government" and of mid-importance to that of "Ireland". The article of Henry de Loundres has been rated as "Stub-class".

Overall impressions

The overall status of the article is inadequate and can be best described as a stub. However, it does hold strengths in providing potentially-reliable sources and listing events that were relevant to the life of Henry de Loundres. Because of this, the article can be immensely improved if these aspects of Loundres' life were given much more description of which can be acquired from the article's sources. Although I would not say that this article is of adequate quality whatsoever, it at least provides the skeleton for which a well-developed article can be written on its subject matter.
