History of the Jews in Russia

 * • Watch article reassessment page
 * Result: Delist The article has an insufficient number of citations and fails WP:VER, it also fails WP:LEAD (the lead is too short) and WP:Weasel. Ruslik (talk) 09:43, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Sections: seems to be ful of WP:OR and WP:Weasel (a antisemtic university with 50.000 students in a country of 45.000.000 people does not proof that a country is antisemtic). Mariah-Yulia (talk) 02:45, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

 * I notified WikiProject Judaism of this discussion; perhaps an editor can join the discussion. Cheers, Majoreditor (talk) 23:59, 23 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks, the thing is that the article fails to meet it's scope (hardly any info about other post soviet states only a lot of info about Russia), a rename to History of the Jews in Russia might do a world of good. And the way the article got a Good article status looks fishy since it seems it was reviewed by only a view people... Mariah-Yulia (talk) 00:30, 24 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment. The sections in question are very short. They are under-referenced and underdeveloped. They should either be expanded and brought up to standard quickly or removed from the article. Majoreditor (talk) 17:00, 24 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Delist, with regrets. This article contains several well-crafted sections. However, it doesn't meet GA criteria. The most significant issue is that it's very underreferenced. I spotted about a dozen statements needing in-line citations. The lead is under-developed, and there are some MoS issues such as improperly-formatted citations. I have removed the sections on Ukraine, Belarus and Tajikistan; they were incomplete, under-referenced, POV and likely synthetic. Perhaps someone, someday, can help this article reach GA quality.

 * Delist, the article in question has been moved. Assuming that we are now talking about History of the Jews in Russia, I'm in agreement with Majoreditor. Needs in-line citations in various places, MoS copyediting, a more adequate lead, to solve the peacock problem, templates for the web references, etc. Nikki  311  04:14, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
