As part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles' Project quality task force, I am re-reviewing this article to ensure compliance with current good article criteria. I have determined that it doesn't meet criteria for the reasons outlined below and needs a bit of work. The issues:
- Citation needed tags are littered throughout the article, part of a larger issue of unsourced statements that are not common knowledge and need a reliable source.
- Along that vein, I'm unsure about some of the sources used, eg. [1] and [2]
- There are excessive use of non-free images in violation of non-free content criteria; they are mostly used for illustration rather than significantly aiding commentary.
- The unsourced passages and tone of some of the later sections (particularly "Trends") suggest original research, and at the very least needs updating, more likely a thorough cleaning and sourcing.
Due to the multitude of issues and the unlikelihood that they could be fixed in a reasonable timeframe, I am boldly delisting the article. Keep in mind you may renominate at any time through WP:GAN. I am not watch-listing this review, so direct comments to my talk page. Thanks, --Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs (talk) 02:13, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
