Talk:Either/Or (Kierkegaard book)/GA2
GA Reassessment
[edit]Article (edit | visual edit | history) · Article talk (edit | history) · Watch
The original article was promoted to GA in 2007 and reassessed and reconfirmed in 2009. Since then it has been extensively changed and expanded and imo no longer meets the GA standard.
Well written
[edit]Written in essay, not encyclopaedic, style, with frequent WP:OR comments and asides. Fail
Verifiable with no original research
[edit]Extensive copyright violations, in the form of very long blockquotes from in-copyright books, have been deleted. The article still contains a large number of WP:OR asides and digressions. Many statements lack any citation. I have marked some (but by no means all) of these with "citation needed".Fail
Broad in its coverage
[edit]Even after deletion of extensive WP:UNDUE sections, article remains diffuse and frequently goes into excessive detail. Fail.
Neutral
[edit]Contains extensive editorial WP:OR comments and opinions. Fail
Stable
[edit]Has been stable for some years (but that is part of its problem -nominated in 2007 and 'reassessed' in 2009 -substantially bloated in the period up to 2015 by a single editor without any review). Adequate so far as that has any meaning in this context.
Illustrated
[edit]Contains relevant illustrations. Adequate but not particuarly enlightening.
Conclusion
[edit]This was made GA many years ago. It was subsequently vastly expanded in an eccentric fashion and no longer meets WP standards. Delist--Smerus (talk) 15:42, 18 June 2021 (UTC)
