Sri Lanka Army

Nominator(s): 49lk (talk) 04:16, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This article is about Sri Lanka Land Defense force, Sri Lanka Army. I think that all the criteria needed for an FA, include in this article. So I believe it should featured. 49lk (talk) 04:16, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose from Harrias

I suggest this this nomination is immediately withdrawn. The article is not ready, and the nominator is not a major contributor to the article. Some quick, and major issues:

Large parts of the article are completely unreferenced.
Those sources that are used are inconsistently formatted.
Those sources that are used frequently include raw htmls, and omit author details and dates.
There is inappropriate use of bold text, particularly in the "Training" section.
The prose is not a the required quality for Featured content.

Long story short, this article is nowhere near consideration for Featured status. Harrias ^talk 08:05, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose from Gog the Mild

Per Harrias, who beat me to it. I have just (re-)assessed the article as C class for MilHist. Gog the Mild (talk) 08:26, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Coord note

Hi, lack of editor involvement is enough for a procedural close but if you want to pursue this and actually delve into the article to improve it, suggest you take it through GAN and then MilHist A-Class Review before considering another run at FAC.
