- Agree with above; delist it. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 17:45, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
- This isn't even a B-class article, let alone a GA. It lacks several requested citations, and only one ancient source (Hyginus) is named. The following statement in particular indicates a lack of careful examination of the scholarship: "His name is used interchangeably with Tartarus and Hades." Well, no. It's likely that the various ancient sources say things about the three that overlap, and that the sources say things about Erebus that differ or conflict. There's also no indication of whether Erebus appeared in Roman literature and mythology (as happens to be the case). Thanks to whoever noticed that this in no way meets GA criteria.

- I'm not really familiar with the GAR process, but I'm willing to, if we can, stall the demotion and try to bring this up to a good article standard. ceranthor 20:49, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
- I fell you, but I think this is in such a poor state it would be more fair to delist it, rewrite (most of) it and then have it tried for GA again. Mottenen (talk) 19:26, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
- I agree with Mottenen. Cynwolfe (talk) 21:50, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

- Okay, no objections then. I've not properly kept up with or updated this article as I should have been, so it can be delisted and I'll work from there. ceranthor 11:23, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
- Okay, it's been a while and the article issues still remain. Delisting shortly. Regards, SunCreator (talk) 13:48, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
