Hi! I'll be reviewing this article, using the template below. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them here. —Ganesha811 (talk) 02:38, 18 November 2023 (UTC)

Unfortunately, this review will have to be a quickfail per Wikipedia:Good article criteria. It is a long way from meeting GA criteria #2 and especially, #3. This article has a lot of expansion and editing needed before it is close to being well-sourced and comprehensive. The article contains no detail about his six years as PM, nor any detail about his other diplomatic roles. The second paragraph of 'Life' is wholly unsourced, even for very opinionated statements. And the material on his reign is scant and lacking in detail. The 2017 dismissal of Parliament, which attracted significant international attention, is mentioned, but not fleshed out. The only other event mentioned is the volcanic eruption. Even without looking at domestic Tongan sources, international news has covered other aspects of his reign and there is much material that could be added.

Regrettably, the article is simply not a comprehensive encyclopedic look at Tupou VI right now, and cannot be assessed on the other GA criteria. I have listed some potential sources down below, but there are others you can find. I also recommend assessing the reliability of some domestic Tongan sources and looking there as well. As this is your first GA nomination, please don't feel too discouraged by this! The article could definitely get to GA one day. Please feel free to ask me if you want any further advice or clarification, and keep on editing and contributing to Wikipedia! Thanks for your improvements here. —Ganesha811 (talk) 13:54, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
