GA Delisting
After considering this article and the GA criteria I am prepared to delist this article from GA status on the basis of GA Criterion #3. It is not broad enough and without references it would be very short. I don't believe this article should be promoted because it got so much media coverage. So if there are no objections after a couple of days I'll be delisting the article. Littleteddy... keep me in a good mood 12:29, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
- When you say it's not broad enough, according to the good article criteria, I presume you mean that it does not address the major aspects of its topic, right? That criterion, as I read it, should not be used merely to discourage articles with appropriate coverage of specialized topics. So which major aspects of this topic do you feel are not addressed? —David Eppstein (talk) 15:57, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
- Sorry Littleteddy, but "not enough bytes" isn't a valid reason to delist. How does it not meet #3? dihydrogen monoxide (H2O) 05:49, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
- My first concern was that there's no measure of popularity. How much does Mzoli's earn per year? How many patrons are there in a year/month/week? Littleteddy... keep me in a good mood 11:54, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
- Mzoli's, in western terms, probably does not earn a lot. On a weekend, it might serve 1500 or more patrons. It is unique in Gugulethu. I don't care about its GA status. Wizzy…☎ 12:25, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
- Following the criteria to the letter could mean delisting on the sole basis of this, because a whole chunk of stuff was removed two weeks ago. Littleteddy... keep me in a good mood 11:56, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
- Sorry, what? How could that merit a delisting? dihydrogen monoxide (H2O) 07:45, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
- Do you have any references for that? Am I getting FA and GA mixed up or is it true that the article must be stable? I'm sorry :) Littleteddy... keep me in a good mood 11:02, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
