The article is unsourced in many places, especially subjective areas relating to legacy. Secondly the article is predominantly based on a book by an adherent, rather than scholar sources, of which there are no shortage YellowMonkey (new photo poll) 02:45, 28 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delist, per nom. The article clearly does not meet the FA guidelines. --TheMandarin (talk) 04:01, 28 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Don't delist yet, please see the FAR instructions at WP:FAR. Usually, articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If the concerns not addressed, it moves to the FARC stage where editors declare "Keep" or "Delist". JJ98 (Talk) 06:59, 28 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Agree with you, I will lend a helping hand in the review / improvements (and hopefully other editors also will)! I have struck my vote above. Thanks. --TheMandarin (talk) 14:31, 28 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I glanced through the article and it falls significantly short. It will take a continuous, dedicated effort and 100s of edits to bring it back FA level. I will contribute after I am done with my current areas of focus. Zuggernaut (talk) 18:45, 28 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Judging by the past 5 years of history on various Indian history pages, I don't think your battle on India will ever finish YellowMonkey (new photo poll) 00:47, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- No battles for me - just an attempt to affect changes where ever there's a clear bias. If you have an interest in a related Indian philosophy article Upanishads, feel free to review it - it's in the GA queue right now. Takes you from 800 bc or even earlier to present day. Upanishads were called something like "the greatest discovery in human thought". Zuggernaut (talk) 06:52, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
