Featured article review/Delhi/archive1

Notified: User talk:Dwaipayanc, User talk:Nikkul, User talk:Lostintherush, Cities WP, India WP

I am nominating this featured article for review because it is a 2007 FA that has not been reviewed since, and is currently sitting near the top of Wikipedia:Featured articles/Cleanup listing. There are citation needed tags sprinkled through the article and some external links are present in the body of the article rather than being used as references or in the external links section. There is at least one dead link and many of the references are not formatted properly, missing publishers (or having incorrectly listed publishers), access dates and other information. I also have concerns about the article meeting the high quality sources criteria, as there are many websites and general references being used, while many reliable, scholarly books have been written on the topic.

I think this article is fine. It is a model Featured City Article. There ARE some improvements which are needed, but in terms of structure and content, this article is one of the best in wikipedia. Nikkul (talk) 07:32, 24 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You clearly need to read WP:WIAFA. dana's one of the directors of the FAR process, so I would trust Dana's judgment when it comes to a FA in need of reassessment. The source quality in particular is of concern. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Many otters • One bat • One hammer)} 22:16, 24 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
