Evaluate the article
The lead in this article is good. It defines Garmr and then goes on to discuss the origin of the name. It does bring in some of the Greek mythology which is a little distracting as it is supposed to be about Norse mythology, but it is relating both names to a single root word.

This article needs a lot of work so there is very little content to go off of. The content that is there is a good start. Nothing in the article seems biased. I am still unsure how I feel about the small section of Greek mythology that is entered into this article and how relevant it actually is to the subject. The tone and balance are neutral. Facts are presented and that is all. Nothing seems to be pushing one way or the other.

Sources and references are there and linked, but some links are no longer up and take you to a page that is no longer available. Seems to have a diverse set of authors as six references are listed. The ones that link to unavailable pages should be removed and new sources should be looked for.

The article is easily read but has very little to it.

There is one image on this page. It is captioned and fits with the article.

There doesn't seem to be much discussion on the talks page, but there is edit activity from Jan. 24th. There is a lot of information on the talk page that is very interesting, such as references to Garmr in popular culture.

Overall the article is lacking a lot of information. It is very small and could use a lot of work. It has a good start to it, but it just needs some more facts. It is very undeveloped. It shows a poem that Garmr was mentioned in which I think is a good start, but no dates or locations about where Garmr could have been from. It mentions a cave and the guarding of Hel's gate, but not much more.
