1. Well-written:
	1a. the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct.
	1b. it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation.	Lead as a summary needed.
2. Verifiable with no original research:
	2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline.
	2b. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose).
	2c. it contains no original research.	"Relics found from Harrapan excavations like seals depicting Kayotsarga posture, idols in Padmasana and a nude bust of red limestonegive insight about the antiquity of the Digambara tradition" is pure OR. There is no mention of Digambara on the page. "he presence of gymnosophists (naked philosophers) ..." no mention of have preserved the ancient Śramaṇa practice "after attaining Kevala Jnana (omniscience), arihant (omniscient beings) are free from human needs like hunger, thirst, and sleep..." Reference talks about Mahavira in specific, not arihant. Citation not found tags already by other users
	2d. it contains no copyright violations or plagiarism.	"dig (directions) and ambara (sky), referring to those whose garments are of the element that fills the four quarters of space" is too close to Zimmer's "those whose garment (ambara) is the element that fills the four quarters of space (dig)".
3. Broad in its coverage:
	3a. it addresses the main aspects of the topic.	Important topics missed: History including The Great schism at the time of Chandragupta Maurya, Council of Valabhi Differences with Śvētāmbara sect: more details on Mallinatha (gender), views on Nuns, martial status of Mahavira, iconography (Digambara - naked, downward glance, no ornaments v/s Shvetambara) More detail on Mula sangha and other sects. Distribution in regions/Numbers
	3b. it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).
	4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.	See OR part.
	5. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.
6. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:
	6a. media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content.
	6b. media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.
	7. Overall assessment.
