GA Reassessment

Quite simply, in many cases, this reads more as an advertisement for Sanger's views and projects than an encyclopedic article about them. For example, the section on Citizendium - which appears to have failed utterly by now - talks at length about how it solves Wikipedia's problems, and overuses promotional press releases by Sanger, to the point of reading like an advertisement for why you should stop reading Wikipedia and hop over there.
These sorts of articles are hard to get perfect, but we can do so much better than this. This fails WP:WIAGA criterion 4, for not being reasonably neutral. Adam Cuerden (talk) 11:38, 19 October 2013 (UTC)
- The one editor this has hasn't edited this section, and may feel free to start a community review if he likes, but it's obvious from conversation with him this isn't going to get fixed. This has such major POV problems and overuse of Primary sources (plus a few probably-not-actually-independent promotional pieces from 2007) that it can't stand as a GA. Have hagiography if you like, but such articles can never be considered the best of Wikipedia. Demoted. Adam Cuerden (talk) 00:48, 22 October 2013 (UTC)
