New enough, long enough. The hooks are not neutral. The tone of the article is not neutrally written either. I don't know how to fix that. --evrik ^(talk) 15:33, 14 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Asking for a second opinion. --evrik ^(talk) 15:33, 14 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Evrik and Buidhe: This is still not neutral, has the nominator/article creator been notified? Rephrasing content throughout should hopefully clear this up. Kingsif (talk) 17:00, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It isn't helpful just to handwave that "it's not neutral". Without explaining why you think so or what you think should be changed, there's no way to fix the alleged problem. b uidhe 21:56, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The breathless prose seems agitated. It seems more like a novella than a neutral history. --evrik ^(talk) 22:16, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree. Again, it would be helpful if you pointed out to specific instances, examples and/or suggestions for improvement. b uidhe 03:12, 17 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

ALT1a:... that the Slovak periodical Svedectvo receives a government subsidy, despite publishing articles defending convicted war criminals?
-Passing ALT1. Article was recent enough, obviously long enough, neutral, hook is cited in the article, no copyvio/closeparaphrasing (excepting quotes & bald facts), the hooks are within character limit, accurate, sourced, and defintely interesting to a broad audience, central most of Europe. While I symapathise with the objections, it would be a mistake to equate negativity to non-neutrality. If the article reads negatively, perhaps that's because no reliable sources can be found defending the subject. ALT2 by a margin? serial ^# 12:16, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed you changed the hook. Are you passing Alt1, or proposing Alt1a? --evrik ^(talk) 13:57, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Since the only difference between ALT1 and ALT1a is the dropping of the word "apologist" in the latter, there is no need for a further review of ALT1a. BlueMoonset (talk) 21:02, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
