GA Review[edit]

GA review (see here for criteria)

Overall, this article is too thin on information for GA status. It's primary need is for expansion.

  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose): b (MoS):
    The lead section should provide more of a summary/overview of the topic- at the very least a sentence or two about the status of Catholicism in Bhutan, and maybe a historical remark. The '21st Century' section is not well organized- it needs to be expanded, and possibly placed in chronological order. At present, it reads as a list of bare factoids.
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
    The linked article does not provide a reference for the estimated number of Catholics in Bhutan- the article claims "hundreds", but this is for Christians total, not Catholics. The 'Asia at a Glance' link is broken- not a serious issue in itself, but it would be nice if to be able to check the reference. The claim that there are 200 or so Catholics in Bhutan seems suspect when paired with the statement that the first convert to Catholicism from Buddhism occurred in the 1980's, given that missionaries are barred from Bhutan.
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects): b (focused):
    There's an unexplained gap of 340 years in the 'origins' section. Were there any consequences to the Jesuit contact in the 17th Century? Provides no detail or explanation regarding schools run by Catholic orders during the 20th Century, which is seemingly the major Catholic presence in Bhutan to date.
  4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias:
    This is fine right now, but it's a little concerning that all the sources for the 20th century section are articles from Catholic news agencies, a couple of them specifically engaged in evangelism in Asia. There may not be much in the way of non-Catholic sources writing about this issue, but there's the potential for bias to be introduced if contrasting views (where they exist) aren't reported and sourced as well.
  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):
    No photos or illustrations. There may not be anything available, but a picture of the priest that is mentioned or something like that would be welcome.
  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:
    There are some organizational issues as well, but the paucity of information is the primary issue. I suspect that this reflects the absence of published literature about Western religion in Bhutan, rather than any failing of the involved editors- the available literature on this topic may simple be too immature to support GA/FA status at this time. I think expanding the coverage of the Jesuit schools in Bhutan would be an excellent starting point- there's likely to be more English-language information available here, and it seems to be fairly central to the history of Catholicism in Bhutan. --Clay Collier (talk) 20:24, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
