Steps

1. Talk page
   1. remove the {{GAR/link}} from the article talk page
   2. update the {{article history}}, or change the {{GA}} template into article history it when not yet present, like this diff. This includes adding an action (action=GAR, date= five tildes, link, result= kept or delisted, oldid), and updating currentstatus= DGA for delists.
   3. (delisting only) remove the GA status from WikiProjects banners (setting class= blank is fine)
2. Article page
   1. (delisting only) remove the good article template from the article
3. List of good articles
   1. (delisting only) remove the good article from the list of good articles. Wikipedia:Good articles/all. (figure out the appropriate subpage, there's 15, check the topic= property of {{Article history}})
4. GAR log
   1. (community assessment only) log the discussion by adding a transclusion to the archive. The current archive is found at Wikipedia:Good article reassessment/Archive 67.
   2. (community assessment only) If the archive has more than 83 transclusions, it is full. Make a new archive. Increment Template:GARarchive (if this is still needed).

Notes

Wikipedia:Good article reassessment does not need the listing to be deleted. User:AnomieBOT takes care of this.

Edit summary examples: "delisting" or "close as keep"

Main technical difference between individual reassessment and community reassessment is where the reassessment page is located.

• Individual example (article sub-page, similar to GAN process, one reviewer): Talk:Geothermal energy/GA2
• Community example (GAR subpage, multiple reviewers): Wikipedia:Good article reassessment/WIN Television/1, Wikipedia:Good article reassessment/Congestion pricing/1
