    A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:
    B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:
  7. Overall:
    Pass or Fail:
    This article do not meet Good Article requirements on a number of grounds, therefore I will not pass it. The first issue is referencing; the article is not adequately referenced, and there are several paragraphs which do not have references. The second issue is coverage and detail; there is obviously an article on individuals such as Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale, but a brief explanation of who those individuals were, and the role which they played, would have been useful for audiences who have no prior knowledge of Operation Blue Star. Furthermore, the first sections of this article only made a brief mention of the murders which occurred between members of different Sikh organizations, but does not mention the role of Sikh/Pubjabi nationalism at that time. To sum it up, this article is significantly lacking in detail. To improve this article, I strongly suggest the editor provide much more coverage, and make sure every paragraph is adequately referenced using verifiable sources.Canpark (talk) 12:52, 7 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
