South India
The article meets with the wikipedia standards, I believe. It is well written and presented very elegantly. The pictures are also well placed. It was featured as a "selected article" on the India portal too. thunderboltz 06:40, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Support - I second this opinion. Although I'm no authority, I think it meets points 2, 3 ,4 & 5. The 'powers that be' need to decide if it meets point 1. --h y dkat 07:06, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Object --
 * 1) The names of the states should not be bolded in the lead
 * 2) How is Goa linguistically a part of SI? Please support it with inline references.
 * 3) Article needs a copyedit.
 * 4) The word 'Carnatic' does not relate anyway to the Region Karnataka -- trivia info, please remove
 * 5) The south Indian people have a world view which is organic and celebrates the generative ethos of the natural world. -- generalised statement, POV. This is not a tourist brochure.
 * 6) Images with dubious copyright sources present. Please remove
 * 7) Please do not use image galleries. Use only relavent images.
 * 8) =Economy= should be written as a whole, not broken into the economy of the states.
 * 9) Please refer to  Malwa to structure the article properly.
 * 10) No proper history


 * Object As someone that has worked on this article in the past, I feel this article falls short of FA status on many counts. The lead is not comprehensive enough and needs to be structured per WP:LEAD. Undue weightage has been given to the Economy section, with unnecessary use of the tag in that section and all over the article. But for a couple of sentences, there is no information about the History of the region. An appropriate referencing tag such as or needs to be used to cite sources. There is no information on the demographical makeup of the region. I motion to move this article back for a second peer review where all concerns need to be addressed before a promotion to FAC.
