Issues

There is nothing about reception of Dani's scholarship or how his scholarship went in tune with what the (Pakistani) establishment demanded of scholars. TrangaBellam (talk) 07:45, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

GA concerns

I am concerned that this article no longer meets the good article criteria. Some of my concerns are listed below:

There are numerous uncited statements in the article
The lede is too short and does not contain information on all major aspects of the article.
The above issue does not seem to have been addressed.

Is anyone interested in fixing up this article, or should this go to WP:GAR? Z1720 (talk) 02:43, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There are numerous uncited statements in the article, the lede is too short and does not contain information on all major aspects of the article, and a talk page issue about the lack of information about the reception of Dani's scholarship has gone unaddressed.

Delist - My concerns — raised over a couple of years ago — remain unaddressed. TrangaBellam (talk) 03:26, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delist It appears that even the GA version wasn’t fully prepared for that GA status, as it lacked proper sourcing. I’m surprised a bio was elevated to GA status while still containing WP:OR. Better late than never, though! This should be downgrade now unless someone wants to help fix it up and get it re-reviewed. --— Saqib (talk I contribs) 08:34, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
