Once these issues have been addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake.

As part of the WikiProject Good Articles, we're doing sweeps to go over all of the current GAs and see if they still meet the GA criteria. I believe the article currently has multiple issues that need to be addressed. Unfortunately, due to the amount of uncited statements, I have delisted this article. The main reason for delisting is the lack of sourcing. In addition to only using one source (teivovo.com), the vast majority of the article is unsourced. Add additional sources from a variety of sources to provide a balanced representation of the information present. Perhaps sources can be pulled from the main articles linked to within the article. Look to books, magazines, newspaper articles, other websites, etc. In addition, see if there is any other sections of information that can be added. It looks like the importance of this sport in Fiji could warrant some additional focus on other areas. Look to similar articles for ideas. Although it has been delisted, the article can be return to GA status by addressing the above points. Once sources are added and cleanup is done, I recommend renominating the article at WP:GAN. If you need assistance with any of these issues, please contact me on my talk page and I'll do my best to help you out. --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 20:15, 13 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Concur. I am going to assess the article at C class.
By section -
Governing body. Series of factoids that while getting data included, needs re-writing.
History rewritten from a NPOV, as well as wikify. Some citation work needs to be done here also. Some more hard details.
There is a line about the exclusion of Fiji from the Super 12 after which I placed the POV- statement tag. This sentence is clearly written from a POV, and neutrality needs to be brought in.
I would think that something could be written about the movement of players from Fiji to other countries to play, either Super14, or in the European competition etc and subsequently to play on the national teams of those countries. NPOV should be adhered to with good citations to support any claims made. Some stats in this area would be good.
Competition a better summary of the competitions (the sub articles need to be expanded greatly also - but that is a different matter)
Representative teams This section needs expansion.
