Result: Kept, issues fixed by splitting. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 11:16, 10 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

GA from 2006. The uses section has been tagged for needing additional citations since may 2021. listed with "Unsourced passages need footnotes ((citation needed)) (September 2011, March 2012, September 2013, November 2013, October 2019, June 2020), Failed verification (September 2013), Dead external links ((dead link)) (November 2018), ... (May 2021)" on the bambots page. Onegreatjoke (talk) 01:07, 28 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Beside the issue of many unsourced paragraphs, I think the long and indiscriminate laundry list of incidents of usage is problematic with respect to WP:GACR #3(b). —David Eppstein (talk) 01:15, 6 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I wonder. The list was a mess, and inappropriate for a text article, so I've split it off as List of uses of CS gas by country and linked that in "See also". I've gone through the "External links" and removed the dead items. Those actions clear all the issues raised above. The rest of the article is fully cited and honestly not too bad (not my cup of tea, but never mind). It covers "the main points", is quite readable (given the subject matter), and is appropriately illustrated. I think it's probably a Keep. Chiswick Chap (talk) 15:32, 6 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Chiswick Chap, before I close this, are all the details in the infobox cited somewhere in the article? ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 00:34, 10 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I've removed some uncited names from the infobox. AFAICT the hazard statements are acceptable in their current form. Chiswick Chap (talk) 06:23, 10 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
