Result
[edit]This article has failed GAR because it is only a start class which needs expansion, proofreading and copyediting. The standard of grammar is quite poor. It lacks breadth of coverage and so fails GACR #3. The lead is probably okay as the article is now, but it will need attention as more content is introduced. Structure is not too bad except that there is a single sub-heading in one section.
Sources are a problem. I suspect that some are unreliable and, in any event, they have not been correctly referenced. For example: He also discussed the vulnerabilities of the South Korean political system to a federation with North Korea, in which North Korea gradually takes over the Korean political system. There is an English version of reference 18 but it does not support that statement, which appears to be original research. I'm not satisfied that the article is neutral. It reads in places like a justification of Mr Kim's beliefs and does not present an alternative viewpoint, which suggests WP:UNDUE.
The article is a long way short of GA standard and should not have been nominated. No Great Shaker (talk) 05:55, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
