Initial thoughts (personal)

Okay this is just awkward to say, but when I first started editing.. I was like your biggest fan. I saw your name on WP:GAN#POL and decided to do this article next.

Initial thoughts (article)

The article is a bit on the shorter side for what I normally would expect for a GA-class article. It does leave some things up as an open question (like why Torobayev withdrew his presidential bid), and it really doesn't explain things well to a person not familiar with the politics of Kyrgyzstan. I'm also seeing that the sourcing concerns at the peer review have not been able to be addressed. It's a dang shame because the lack of local language references really does hold the article back a bit.

Specific issues

• Between 1998 and 1999, he worked on a farm named "Asia-Suzak" as its chairman. should be tagged to its source
• Originally a political movement, Onuguu–Progress... I have no clue what this means.
  • ...Torobayev joined the Respublika Party of Kyrgyzstan... Torobayev and Babanov frequently clashed in the party, which led to Torobayev leaving Respublika and founding Onuguu–Progress. This seems to imply that was why it was founded, but then wouldn't that make it a political party?
  • Onuguu–Progress held its first congress on 1 February 2012, Was this the same year it was founded or when Torobayev left Respublika?
• The party first stood candidates in the 2015 parliamentary election... Was Torobayev one of them?
• Why did Torobayev withdraw his presidential bid?
  • Can you translate the quote here?
  • This mentions the deal he struck with Omurbek Babanov.
• What kind of parties are Mekenim-Kyrgyzstan and Respublika–Ata Zhurt? Do they share similar ideology to Onuguu–Progress?
• the station accused his supporters of bribing voters. Was there merit to this claim?
• Eurasianet seems to describe him as prominently a political heavy weight and unabashedly against the current government regime (the Kyrgyzstan Party). I think that is the context needed to explain most of his actions.

Conclusion

I generally am lenient with deadlines when people have been waiting for a while to get a proper review. Please address these concerns over the course of the next two weeks and ping me with your response. Cheers! :D –MJL ‐Talk‐^☖ 19:05, 6 September 2019 (UTC)

@Aircorn: Since it's been two weeks since this message now, I suppose that this review has to conclude as a fail. –MJL ‐Talk‐^☖ 17:55, 1 December 2019 (UTC)

Probably best. They can always renominate if they get back to editing and the review comments will still be available to them. AIRcorn (talk) 18:16, 1 December 2019 (UTC)
