I am nominating this article for A-Class review because it was just delisted from Featured Status here. The article relies too much on primary sources such as minutes from the British House of Lords and Ian Smith's memoirs, as well as a self-published book by JRT Wood. Newer scholarship, such as Josiah Brownell's Struggles for Self-Determination: The Denial of Reactionary Statehood in Africa exists, but has not been fully integrated into the article. Concerns about POV language, SYNTH, and editorialising prose were also raised in the FAR. Lastly, it's worth noting that when this article originally passed A-class in 2012 it was under the title of Lisbon Appointment. The newer title expanded the scope of the article, but the diplomatic mission's history is hardly covered beyond its creation. In short, it's compliance with A1 and A2 of the A-Class criteria is doubtful. -Indy beetle (talk) 08:54, 1 January 2022 (UTC)
- Demote per my comments in the FARC: in short, that the article does not fully cover its topic, the existing material is not neutral, and it is reliant on at times unreliable sources. Nick-D (talk) 09:01, 1 January 2022 (UTC)
- Delist per the FAR (t · c) buidhe 13:39, 1 January 2022 (UTC) Inidentally, there is a similar delist nomination for Ho Chi Minh trail below that needs more input. (t · c) buidhe 15:43, 1 January 2022 (UTC)
