GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)
  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
    • Biography needs {{Persondata}}
    • The lead should adequately summarize the content of the article. (Lead contains nothing about Future: 2020 and all)
    • Wikilinks should only be made if they are relevant to the context. Common words do not need wikilinking.
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects): b (focused):
  4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias:
  5. It is stable.
    No edit wars, etc.:
  6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
    a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:

Comment[edit]

Sorry for delayed reply. Thanks Ankit for coming up and reviewing the nomination. Will you mind if you can let me know what are the necessary fixes I should work on the article? I believe that your review wasn't a detailed one and can be worked on after fixing few problems. -- ♪Karthik♫ ♪Nadar♫ 16:36, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Isn't it written under the Review section (Point 1)? --Ankit MaityTalkContribs 15:06, 28 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

In addition to the issues raised in Point 1 (and the peer reviewer), I have a few more suggestions:

Have worked upon the provided link, on whatever I could. -- ♪Karthik♫ ♪Nadar♫ 14:09, 4 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • {{cn}} tags should be addressed or removed as appropriate
  • What makes this a reliable source?
  • Some general copyediting needed for grammar
  • Issues with non-neutral/unencyclopedic tone - for example, "he had a discipline of starting the day at 4:00 am following the footsteps of his father"
  • Criticisms need more citations
    •  DoneMore citations and also topic on mercy plea included.Ssriram mt (talk) 04:32, 6 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Perhaps a bit overemphasis on frisking? Nikkimaria (talk) 20:49, 28 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Seconded Nikkimaria.--Ankit MaityTalkContribs 16:08, 29 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Three incidents of national importance,so think needs to be retained - reworded some portions. Ssriram mt (talk) 04:32, 6 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
My on-off Wiki status is probably delaying stuff's. Working on all these issues in a slow track. Thanks! -- ♪Karthik♫ ♪Nadar♫ 19:48, 30 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
