Observations

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

1. It is reasonably well written.

• Prose is well scribed.
• Article layout follows MOS

1. a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

• Reference 2 is a vague link and does not go to the appropriate page. A more appropriate link is found here.
• Reference 4 does not refer to Padmasambhava as tutelary deity of Bhutan nor Tibet.
• Timeline of Bhutanese history gives dates for visits by Padmasambhava to Bhutan, and his activities, including this monastery. It is here that Padmasambhava is referred to as the national patron saint
• Examination of references in the Lede does not support This place was consecrated to tame the Tiger demon.
• It has been mentioned by authors
• This dance is performed in Paro as the Tsche festival. → Tshechu festival.
• Recommend archive version of Reference 13
• Reference 16 is a dead link.
• Reference 17 is a dead link and has no archive version.

1. a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism):

• Establishment as a meditation site this section relies upon a single source (which is not accessible).
• The section Other structures within the precincts has been tagged since 2018 about no citation of sources
• The section Paintings has been tagged since 2018 about no citation of sources

1. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

• (the formal State Religion of Bhutan) should be moved from Structure to the Lede. Mentioning the religion of Bhutan in the description of a cave is manifestly inappropriate.

1. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

2. It is stable.
