There has been no action on the issues, and the nominator has not edited on Wikipedia since the day this was nominated. Under the circumstances, it seems highly unlikely that the problems will be addressed

  • Welcome to DYK. I hope you enjoy your time here and nominate more articles in the future.
  • Review: Article long enough, new enough and neutral. QPQ is not required as this is the first nomination. AGF on offline/foreign sources. Image appears to be free. Inline citations are generally used, but the last paragraph needs one. There are some lines which could use a reference as well.
  • First hook is short and directly sourced. The second hook is short and more interesting IMO, but the whole paragraph is lacking a source to support.
  • In short, the article needs more references and the second hook needs a direct reference. Mohamed CJ (talk) 11:03, 23 June 2014 (UTC)
  • I've already referenced several claims in the article through the official website. Direct references for the hook can be found here ([1][2]) and have been added. Most of the information was taken from the official website of the Academy.--Aldendor (talk) 13:45, 23 June 2014 (UTC)
  • The referencing has been improved and the second hook is now directly sourced (I verified it via Google translator). However, since my first review, the article had been tagged with orphan and outdated tags (orange). I've removed the orphan tag as the article had been linked since then, but I'm not sure about the outdated tag. I'm reluctant to give a pass until that is resolved. Mohamed CJ (talk) 15:08, 23 June 2014 (UTC)
  • I think the point behind the outdated tag is that the article does not tell anything about the current state of the academy, and it needs to. The most recent event mentioned by date is the 1942 reestablishment, though clearly King Felipe VI was a student well after that date. This comes under WP:DYKSG#D7: Articles that fail to deal adequately with the topic are also likely to be rejected. Ignoring the present academy means that it's missing a critical set of information. Aldendor, we need to know whether you plan to bring the article up to date. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 00:27, 12 July 2014 (UTC)
  • There has been no action on the issues, and the nominator has not edited on Wikipedia since the day this was nominated. Under the circumstances, it seems highly unlikely that the problems will be addressed, so this nomination is being marked for closure as unsuccessful. BlueMoonset (talk) 20:23, 21 July 2014 (UTC)
