This article is nowhere near GA standard, number of prose, formatting and referencing issues.
- "Saina was the under-19 national champion. Saina created history by winning the prestigious Asian Satellite Badminton tournament (India Chapter) twice, becoming the first player to do so." this needs a referencing for example, many other sentences like this that need referencing
- "Saina went on to stun several..." stun is not encyclopaedic language, avoid sensationalist writing
- Main problem with the prose is that it is essentiaay just lists of achievements with many sentences starting: On 14 October 2010 etc
- Then we have sections 2010 and 2011 written as bullet points. An article is supposed to consist of engaging not a list of facts. These actions constitute an instant fail.
- References are not formatted properly, majority have no publishers accesssdates etc, very sloppy
This article is nowhere near GA standard, also concerned that the nominator has only been an active member of wikipedia for a month and a bit. I would advise to take some time and read through the Manual of style before nominating another article, so you know the standards that we expect. NapHit (talk) 19:49, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
