This is a very well written article that to be honest is on its way to FA status. There's only one change that I think needs to be made for clarity before GA listing.

Comments

As of 2014, five of the 31 CDI secretaries are women: Huang Xiaowei, Hong Qiang, Zhang Xiaolan, Ma Yongxia and Song Airong.[28] Of these Zhang, at age 50, is currently the youngest serving CDI provincial secretary Here "CDI" is used instead of "CCDI." Is that intentional/meaningful? Looking through the rest of the article I think it refers to commissions on a more local level, but I'm not sure as I don't have the source so I'll need an author to check that
Clarified, wrote in the section "Lower levels and inspection teams" that "Below the central level there are several commissions for discipline inspection (CDI)".
Looks good. Wugapodes (talk) 18:22, 3 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

(Optional) While the use of quote boxes is well done, the article still lacks illustrations. While illustrations of an abstract body are hard to come by (and I couldn't find any on commons), I think images of leaders of the department or hi profile people who were investigated by the Commission would go very far in helping this article.

I've added one image of Wang, and I'll try to add more.

I left this unstruck not because the Wang picture is bad, just as an ongoing and general reminder to think about images as the article progresses. Wugapodes (talk) 18:22, 3 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

(Optional) I think a section on high profile cases that the CCDI was involved in would be a useful addition. Likewise, if there are any controversies regarding the Commission, a section on that would be good

No need for an actual controversy section, since controversial events are mentioned throughout the article, such as "Problems with Shuanggui, such as forced confessions, have occurred with inadequately-trained officials"... I'm not a very big fan of "controversy" sections... I'll see what I can do, but the article will get passed in the meantime right? --TIAYN (talk) 06:18, 3 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I've added this In late 2013, Zhou Yongkang, a former member of the Politburo Standing Committee (PSC) and head of China's security agencies, was placed under investigation by the CCDI for alleged abuse of power and corruption, a decision state media announced in July 2014.[27] Zhou was the first PSC member – and the most senior-ranked official – since the founding of the People's Republic of China to be tried and convicted of corruption-related charges.[28] Following his investigation, Zhou was expelled from the CPC.[29] On 11 June 2015, Zhou was convicted of bribery, abuse of power and the intentional disclosure of state secrets by the Intermediate Court in Tianjin.[30] Zhou and his family members were said to have taken 129 million yuan (over $20 million) in bribes.[31] He was sentenced to life in prison.[31] to the "Political history" section. Hope that's enough. --TIAYN (talk) 06:25, 3 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Results

On Hold for 7 days. The moment that the one required change is made, it will be listed as a GA. The optional suggestions are optional and suggestions for further improvement. Great work! Wugapodes (talk) 04:51, 3 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Passed A very well written article. I found myself learning far more about the Chinese political system than I ever imagined. The new image of Wang is a good addition. Some stylistic recommendations are to alternate which side images and quote boxes are as they are all currently on the right. It helps to break up the monotony of things which can happen in such a long and comprehensive article. I do agree that controversies are covered well throughout the article, though it is something worth keeping in mind as it would be usefule for someone coming to this page wondering "what are some historic controversies involving the CCDI?" and just being able to click the link in the Table of Contents. Obviously you don't have to take that into account, just some food for thought. Overall a very good article that in my opinion is very close to achieving WP:FA status. Remarkable work!
