GA Reassessment

Article (edit | visual edit | history) · Article talk (edit | history) · Watch

I am starting a good article reassessment of this article because it has not kept up with GA standards since it was promoted, and has numerous tags and talk page comments that show this. Specifically:

• First, tags:
  • 14 references and external links with dead link tags. There may be more that aren't tagged.
  • References needed banner in Passenger subsection.
  • Citation needed in Fleet history subsection.
  • Clarification needed and citation needed tags in the Ground handling subsection.
• As has been mentioned on the talk page, where at least one potential reference is mentioned, the History section is unbalanced. One paragraph for 30 years of history, followed soon after by 20+ paragraphs for 10 years?
• The article needs a good run through to check that information added after the initial GA run is referenced and the prose is up to standard. For instance, take this sentence from the History section: "Compared to other airlines in Asia, Cathay Pacific was little affected from September 11 Attacks and become more increasing of this routes and fleet." It is unreferenced and the prose is extremely poor. This is just an example of a pattern that is found throughout the article. The article is sprinkled with unsourced quotes and statistics, which must have references.
• The existing references need a check, as I see at least a couple that are nothing but bare links. Publishers and titles are needed at the very least, plus access dates for web references, publication dates and authors if applicable.

These are the big problems I'm seeing on a first run-through. Please let me know if there are any questions. Dana boomer (talk) 14:28, 13 September 2013 (UTC)

As none of the above issues have been addressed, this article is now delisted from GA status. Dana boomer (talk) 19:19, 28 September 2013 (UTC)
