This article has some unsourced sections, in particular the Legacy section, and the integration section where some subjective statements and attributions are not cited. Rediff is not a reliable source. This article is not "a thorough and representative survey of the relevant literature on the topic"; about 85% of the article is sourced to Gandhi's grandson; Gandhi was Sardar Patel's main ally and people would be raising eyebrows if Cheney's son was the main source of an article on GWB. Apart from this, there are many dozens of books on Patel (see google books, for instance)  YellowMonkey  ( vote in the Southern Stars and White Ferns supermodel photo poll )  01:41, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

FARC commentary

 * Delist. Not in the ballpark, per YellowMonkey's original concerns. Hagiographic in places, and a major section "Criticism and legacy" is essentially unreferenced. Wouldn't even make it at GA. Must be reconstructed with significant reliance on scholarly histories of India, as well as biogrpahical sources on SVP. hamiltonstone (talk) 06:27, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Delist No significant work done to address concerns. A huge pity... --mav (reviews needed) 13:54, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
