Panzer IV
Instructions for nominators and reviewers
 * Nominator(s): 

A-class reappraisal of this article.

This article failed a GA review in 2011 and another in 2021. At the time, both reviewers User:Sturmvogel 66 and User:Nick-D noted major concerns over the verifiability of the text. There still exist unresolved citation needed tags from 2009 and multiple unreferenced sections and paragraphs. I've gone through and deleted some references to hobbyist sites and deleted some statements that violated WP:SYNTH.

We could delete the problematic sections but the resulting article would not be as comprehensive. Schierbecker (talk) 22:18, 2 August 2023 (UTC)


 * Delist This should have been delisted over a decade ago; not sure why I didn't do this when I failed the GAN. The sourcing problems mean this isn't of A-class standards and the article isn't being maintained to address these problems. Nick-D (talk) 01:29, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Delist Needs substantial work, not just on sourcing but text/structure as well. Zawed (talk) 22:58, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Delist Per above. Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 19:27, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
