• This is just a comment rather than a review, but considering that the Pandya dynasty may be an unfamiliar term to most readers and perhaps to those not well-versed in Indian history, I would suggest adding additional context to the hook briefly explaining what it is, or even just mentioning that these events took place in India.

• @Narutolovehinata5: Thanks for the comment. I've made the additions you suggested. Do check and let me know if it looks fine. Shanze1 (talk) 15:24, 14 April 2020 (UTC)

Those sound good now. I took a quick look at the article and for the most part it looks fine, but I'll leave the review to another editor as I admit that I have some difficulty reviewing this kind of article. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 22:37, 14 April 2020 (UTC)

• Full review needed. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 01:49, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

• New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced. But I must admit I find it hard to follow the meaning of the article altogether. The sentence in the lead starting All the Pandyas from Sadaavarman Parakrama Pandya and his next generations were crowned in the Adheenam Mutt seems to take the lead in a new direction. Sometimes you're talking about the Pandys people, and sometimes about the capital. The whole "Tenkasi's origin" section seems to belong in the article called Tenkasi. The Proofs section comes out of nowhere, and the Numismatics section lacks any citations, per Rule D2. I suggest you apply at WP:GOCE for someone to copyedit this article so it is more focused and flows logically. Yoninah (talk) 18:29, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

I see the problems. The article was translated and hence I didn't add/change much of it. If I get more sources, I can maybe improve it with sole focus on the subject. I'll apply at GOCE and try to improve it overall. I'll withdraw this nom now. Thanks. Shanze1 (talk) 04:09, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

• OK. Yoninah (talk) 04:22, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
