Bring the article to re-assessment for multiple reasons.

  • Issues with references; not formatted and bare links.
  • Uncited claims like "Chajju Ram Memorial Jat College is known for its sports facilities.", "Jahaaj Kothi at Firoz Shah Palace & Fort Complex also houses a museum.", "It is one of Asia's biggest agricultural university", "In August 2012, the DGCA approved the Haryana state government's plan to develop the airport to operate domestic passenger services. Its 4,000 foot runway will be extended to 6,000 feet to accommodate airline aircraft.", "Direct To Home (DTH) services are provided by almost all the operators."
  • Sections like healthcare (hospitals), Utility services (telecom companies), Economy (companies and people), Education (colleges) and culture (festivals) consist of long lists with no information. It is not yellow pages!
  • Economy section has a laundry list of people with Jindal family listed exclusively. What is the connection between economy of the city and these people?
  • Needs re-phrasing and copy-editing. Second para in economy starts with "Additionally, a large textile industry is based in the city." Lines like "Metropolis Mall has been made". Also, "Sports facilities are provided in every school and college."
  • Parks and recreation is like an advertisement page for OP Jindal park. Lines like "Chajju Ram Memorial Jat College is known for its sports facilities."

Comment: @Magentic Manifestations: It seems you have made a large number of major changes to the article without consulting others at the talk page. I could not see what issues you have pointed out, the article seems to have changed a lot. Sainsf <^>Feel at home 10:41, 6 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Sainsf: I had raised the above issues as per the revision on 7th March 2016. I intimated the user involved in taking the article to GA as well. As there was a delay in the review, I started making changes to the article to weed out the issues I had identified. Magentic Manifestations (talk) 16:15, 6 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Magentic Manifestations: I see. But then this reassessment does not appear significant anymore. @BlueMoonset: Could you please guide us here? Thanks, Sainsf <^>Feel at home 16:26, 6 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the ping, Sainsf. Oddly, I discovered that this article didn't use the same name for its article and talk and GA review and reassessment pages; I've standardized them all on the article, which is Hisar (city). (If you discover any lingering problems, please let me know.)
Although this is a community assessment, at this point I think it makes sense to wait on Magentic Manifestations, who has made progress in fixing the issues he or she identified in opening the reassessment. Once all the issues have been addressed, that can be noted here; indeed, Magentic Manifestations can add a "Keep" to indicate that the article should retain GA if that's appropriate. In the meantime, anyone else can review the article and make their own assessment of the situation. This will likely remain open for a while even after Magentic Manifestations is done, but that doesn't hurt anything; the article remains a GA unless there is agreement to delist it.

Thank you BlueMoonset. I will check for any issues and give my opinion. Sainsf <^>Feel at home 03:48, 7 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the comment. I have fixed the issues identified. Suggest to keep as GA.Magentic Manifestations (talk) 16:00, 12 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@BlueMoonset: Magentic Manifestations is happy to keep the GA status of this article. Can we close this reassessment? I am not acquainted with this process. Thanks, Sainsf <^>Feel at home 16:08, 12 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Sainsf, I think Magentic Manifestations can close it, having decided that the reassessment is not needed. I'm basing this on the instructions at WP:GAR under the Community Reassessments column. Otherwise, this can just wait until someone comes along to close it: there's no rush, no harm done, and the GA listing isn't affected by it. BlueMoonset (talk) 22:48, 13 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
It has been another two and a half months, and no one has come by, including the nominator, Magentic Manifestations. Magentic Manifestations, unless I see an objection from you in the next seven days (or by the end of June if you're actively editing), I will close this myself and the article will retain its GA status. Thank you. BlueMoonset (talk) 18:47, 27 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
BlueMoonset you can go ahead and close this! As discussed above, I have already made the changes and since the time, watching the article for changes so as to preserve the GA status.Magentic Manifestations (talk) 16:07, 30 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
