• I will be quick failing this article as it fails several of the GA criteria, falling short of a couple of them by a rather large margin. The article desperately needs a copy-edit to improve the quality of the prose and there are many formatting issues in the references. More substantially, much of the article is cited to pop science and news articles where journal articles, books, and academic reports would be much more appropriate as sources. The article also suffers from comprehensiveness and due weight issues: the sections on diet, parasites, and breeding contain a lot of general information that applies to all vultures and don't go into enough detail about this species, and the conservation section takes up far too much of the article. The "Cultural and economic significance" section is pretty much useless, it only contains general info that applies to all species of vulture that occur in India. I'd recommend rewriting the article with Northern bald ibis as an example of what to aim for. AryKun (talk) 16:02, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
  • Forgot to mention, the Taxonomy section contains almost no information besides an uncited etymology; it needs a history of how the species was described, its subsequent taxonomic treatment by authorities, its current treatment, any subspecies, and its relationship to other closely related vultures.
