Result: No consensus to delist. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 11:03, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Article has seen many changes. It no longer meets any of the GA criteria. Dhawangupta (talk) 19:10, 21 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Dhawangupta, please note which of the GA criteria are violated in your opinion. This is standard practice when filing a GA reassessment. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 12:15, 23 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

All are violated in my opinion.

Dhawangupta, please provide examples to support your opinion. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 22:23, 24 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Examples

see this statement in lead:

Vaishnava scriptures that Vishnu assumed the form of the ferocious Gandabherunda bird-animal to combat Sharabha.

Is this statement, grammatically, correct? I don't think so.

Corrected. --Redtigerxyz ^Talk 16:37, 28 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

2. Then, see following in section Buddhist scriptures:

The King was deeply touched by the compassion shown by the deer and thereafter promulgated a decry stating that hunting was an illegal activity in his country.

This one is also not grammatically correct.

Corrected. --Redtigerxyz ^Talk 16:37, 28 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

3. There are multiple uncited statements:

In Maharashtra the stone cut Sharabha idol is placed on the outer walls of the entrance gate of many historic forts.

Removed. --Redtigerxyz ^Talk 16:37, 28 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

4. See following statement:

It also shows the Narasimha beneath Sharabha's legs as a lion-faced human with anjali (hands folded prayer gesture). (See Infobox image)

Now the attached image does not seem to show Narasimha in anjali mudra.

Narasimha has held his hands in anjali mudra over his head. --Redtigerxyz ^Talk 16:37, 28 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

5. See statement:

The Skanda Purana considers Narasimha as a mere irritation to Hiranyakasipu and not a threat to the world,

Now, when we look in the cited source, the text infers that Narasimha is a nuisance, but not to Hiranyakasipu, but to the Devas. Certainly it can't be inferred that the being who killed Hiranyakashipu is a mere irritation to Hiranyakashipu.

Restored as in GA version.--Redtigerxyz ^Talk

@Redtigerxyz Kindly take note.

Possibly, the article can be improved to reach Good Article status again. But, in its current condition, it requires reassessment. Dhawangupta (talk) 18:26, 27 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Dhawangupta, thanks for your observations. Remedied.Redtigerxyz ^Talk 16:37, 28 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I see a few uncited sentences, but overall the article appears in good shape to me. If the nominator won't work with us I'd be inclined to procedurally close as keep. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 16:44, 25 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Dhawangupta, thank you for your interest. Please provide a detailed list of actionables to improve this article further.--Redtigerxyz ^Talk 17:33, 27 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
