I am listing this article for GA reassessment as this article requires major cleanup and expansion. One example is that in most current soap opera good articles, the development section can consist of character creation, relationships the character had, other major storylines which contributed to the character's profile, etc. Until I attempted to clean up the article, there was only a "Writing and portrayal" section, which is really just character creation. From what I read the character had a relationship with soap opera icon [[Erica Kane]] ([[Susan Lucci]]), there should be development information on that as well as other romances or storylines he may have encountered. All this is to say is that work needs to be done on the article, and that its current state does not meet the good article criteria.

I am listing this article for GA reassessment as this article requires major cleanup and expansion. One example is that in most current soap opera good articles, the development section can consist of character creation, relationships the character had, other major storylines which contributed to the character's profile, etc. Until I attempted to clean up the article, there was only a "Writing and portrayal" section, which is really just character creation. From what I read the character had a relationship with soap opera icon Erica Kane (Susan Lucci), there should be development information on that as well as other romances or storylines he may have encountered. All this is to say is that work needs to be done on the article, and that its current state does not meet the good article criteria. Creativity97 21:55, 16 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Like I stated here, how does its current state not meet the WP:GA criteria? It's mostly the same as it was the day it was elevated to WP:GA status. You made this edit to the article, and a few others, including having added this copyedit tag to it. The article "missing" some information you feel should be in the article does not mean that it does not satisfy the WP:GA status. Considering that the editor who brought this article to WP:GA status, Rocksey, has not been on Wikipedia under her Rocksey account or at all since February 15, 2012, it would be better to send her an email about this WP:GA reassessment instead of just the message you left on her talk page about it.
There is already information in the article about Dimitri's relationship with Erica Kane; the article points readers to the Erica Kane and Dimitri Marick article for in-depth information on that; there is no need to repeat a good deal of information about that relationship in the Dimitri Marick article. There is no requirement that any character article needs information about the development of the character's romances so that the article can meet WP:GA status. Not at the time the Dimitri Marick article was made into a WP:GA article, and not now. Furthermore, real-world information about the development of romances on soap operas, especially American soap operas, is difficult to come by and is other times non-existent.
