I believe the article doesn't satisfy criteria 1(a) and 1(c)/2(d). The prose is not up to the standard it can be. There are plenty of one-sentence paragraphs. There is even a one-sentence section. Goa. Furthermore, the article is quite weak on citations/references, especially when they are needed, such as statistical data. Fact tags are scattered throughout the article.

 * Last reviewed version: this is the version of the article that survived a FAR in May 2005. Although it has the same citation issues as the present one, it does seem less bloated. May make a useful reference. Abecedare 05:51, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

The article lacks inline citations, MOS, redlinks (though not a criteria), overall copyedit is necessary. To be frank, I will rate the article not more than a start grade article. This article must be improved or get defeatured. Remove the excess photos in Economy section. Amartyabag  TALK2ME  11:48, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

FARC commentary

 * Remove, some work was done, but the article is not within 1c guidelines. Sandy Georgia  (Talk) 19:57, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Remove per 1c. LuciferMorgan 23:58, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Remove—poorly written. In particular, tons of redundant wording (the first sentence, for example, could lose four words; the second, three words). Tony 23:57, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
