Failed "good article" nomination

This article has failed its Good article nomination. This is how the article, as of September 20, 2018, compares against the six good article criteria:

1. Well written?: fail

2. Verifiable?: fail

3. Broad in coverage?: pass

4. Neutral point of view?: pass

5. Stable?: pass

6. Images?: fail

When these issues are addressed, the article can be renominated. If you feel that this review is in error, feel free to have it reassessed. Thank you for your work so far.— B. N .D | TALK 16:40, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@B.N. Dehigaspage: I only found out about this review recently, and it was strange but I was not notified; however I dispute this review, due to the fact that there were no reasons and no explanation is given to how I can improve the article, so it would be very nice if you could give me some (and also specifically what was wrong with it). talk to !dave 10:35, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

@MJL: Hey, how are going with this review. AIRcorn (talk) 07:18, 1 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@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)[reply]

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)[reply]
