Over the coming days, I will be reassessing this article to determine whether it still meets the Good Article criteria. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 05:04, 4 May 2022 (UTC)

Rate	Attribute	Review Comment
1. Well-written:
	1a. the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct.	A few issues here, see below section.
	1b. it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation.	Lists are not supposed to be empty, of course, and there are empty lists in the Records and All-time records sections. Multiple sections are orange-tagged, the "coaching staff" section makes no sense, and the "Players" section has lots of missing information about those players. The honours section is totally empty, as is the Team image section.
2. Verifiable with no original research:
	2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline.	Ref 24 is formatted incorrectly, Refs 4 and 20 is marked as a dead link, and Refs 6 and 7 have full URLs in the references and therefore are also formatted incorrectly. Ref 2 is named "archive copy" instead of having a proper title
	2b. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose).
	2c. it contains no original research.
	2d. it contains no copyright violations or plagiarism.
3. Broad in its coverage:
	3a. it addresses the main aspects of the topic.
	3b. it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).	Perhaps a touch too much detail on Jawara.
	4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.
	5. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.
6. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:
	6a. media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content.	Team logo has fair use.
	6b. media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.	Team logo is relevant.
	7. Overall assessment.

Issues with criterion 1a

Lead/infobox

• "...it has only competed in one major international competition, attempting to qualify for the 2018 Africa Cup of Nations." → "...it has only competed in one major international competition, the 2018 Africa Cup of Nations qualification."
  •  Done --SuperJew (talk) 08:44, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
• Not sure if World Cup, Olympic, and AFCON appearance counters are necessary in the infobox given they are all 0
  •  Done --SuperJew (talk) 08:44, 5 May 2022 (UTC)

History

The team

• a bit of inconsistency; "The Gambia" (capital "T") is used in the lead but "the Gambia" (lowercase "T") is used in this section
  •  Done Per The Gambia used capital T only at beginning of sentence and lowercase in middle.--SuperJew (talk) 08:49, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
• "lost a 1-2 result" → use en-dash rather than hyphen
  •  Done --SuperJew (talk) 08:49, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
• "the Gambia drew the defending..." → sentence starts with a lowercase letter
  •  Done --SuperJew (talk) 08:49, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
• "defending Cup of Nations Champions" → "champions" should be lowercase
  •  Done --SuperJew (talk) 08:49, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
• "Gambia fielded an under-17 team of 24 players, narrowed from an initial pool" → remove bolded portion, since the under-17 side having under-17 players is redundant to state
  •  Done --SuperJew (talk) 08:50, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
• "Gambia" is stated without the leading "the" in the third paragraph
  •  Done --SuperJew (talk) 08:49, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
• "Gambia then beat Tunisia 1–0 at home and won 2–1 in Tunisia" → "...won 2–1 away" to avoid repetition
  •  Done --SuperJew (talk) 08:49, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
• Any reason why the team withdrew from the 2002 U-19 championship?

Death of Fatim Jawara

• "a player of the national team" → "a member of the national team"
  •  Done --SuperJew (talk) 08:55, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
• "homeland" → would "hometown" be more appropriate?
  •  Done Changed wording order. --SuperJew (talk) 08:56, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
• This paragraph repeats itself about halfway through. The paragraph goes from: (1) Who Jawara is, (2) her travel to Italy, (3/4) her ultimate fate and death, (5) notice of her absence, (6) her travel to Italy, (7) her travel to Libya, which was the first step in her travel to Italy, (8) her ultimate fate and death.
  •  Done Reworded. Let me know if it needs any more minor adjustments. --SuperJew (talk) 09:02, 5 May 2022 (UTC)

Reactions to her death

• Since this is only one sentence, and it is about the previous section, just merging them would make more sense.
  •  Done --SuperJew (talk) 08:42, 5 May 2022 (UTC)

All-time record against FIFA recognized nations

• This section uses the name of another country (Djibouti) rather than The Gambia
• There are numerous placeholders that just have a string of the letter "x" rather than any actual information

Overall review conclusion

WP:GAR states that An individual assessment may be closed after seven days of no activity. As there has been no activity on the review for eight days, I am closing the review. My conclusion is that the article fails GA criteria 1a, 1b, and 2a, at least, and therefore will be delisted. If improvements are made in the future, and the article is brought up to par, it can be renominated for GA. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 18:18, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
