Result: There is no consensus to delist the article. One editor supports delisting, one editor opposes delisting, and one editor is neutral. There is no consensus that the article does not meet the good article criteria, so this defaults to the article's retaining good article status. Closing per request at WP:ANRFC.

There have been recent edit controversies surrounding this article. There is information without sources. I have also been finding fabricated information in the article not supported by sources. I think this warrants a review of the article overall.----ZiaLater (talk) 09:06, 16 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The edit controversies you refer to in the above began with you and another user edit warring and destabilizing the article due to your own POV pushing. Additionally, the content you describe as “fabricated information in the article not supported by sources” is, in fact, real, accurate, and verifiable and supported by the original sources found in the GA reviewed version that you appear to have discarded. So, not only are both of your claims false, you yourself appear to be responsible for the current state of the article, which makes your attempt at reassessing it both duplicitous and in bad faith. The solution, therefore, is not to reassess the article, but to revert and rollback all your changes and to restore the last good version. However, because I am no longer active here, I will not be participating in any changes moving forward. I just wanted to comment on your poor edits and bad justification for this reassessment and to observe that you should not be allowed to edit this page.

@Viriditas: Thank you for your reply and using your good faith to accuse me of having information "discarded". This is not the case. Looking at the article when it originally was granted GA status, there were some different sources used, for example RT's discovery of Martin and the information that was not originally only sourced by a college research paper. I did not remove such sources and much of this happened before my edits. I am only bringing this article to be reassessed because of genuine concerns regarding edits between the original GA article and what is currently posted. Since I can now see the original sources presented, I may be able to add them back and fix some issues.----ZiaLater (talk) 15:31, 7 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I stand by my comments, more so based on your reply to my concerns. How could you possibly request a GA reassessment without doing the bare due diligence, namely, checking the originally reviewed version? You are clearly biased against Martin based on your previous edits, and your claim to be interested in this reassessment is just an attempt to remove its quality rating. I therefore have zero interest in discussing anything further with you, and it’s this kind of extreme incompetence and blatant POV pushing that has led me to lose all interest in Wikipedia. Don’t ping me again. Viriditas (talk) 21:44, 7 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I will not ping you, but I admit that this is my first time requesting a GA reassessment. It was only done purely because I noticed multiple issues (mainly missing sources and WP:OR) and thought that there may be more fundamental issues with the article. Just replying to your response and thanks for sharing your concerns.----ZiaLater (talk) 00:29, 8 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@ZiaLater: I made some edits to the article. There is still a tag asking for a better source, and I agree the source is not great. The statement does not seem very controversial though. AIRcorn (talk) 10:19, 15 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
A lot has been reverted or removed. I tried. I feel the lead is too short, but YMMV. All in all Neutral on its good article listing. AIRcorn (talk) 09:47, 16 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Cunard: @Aircorn: please let us know what is going on with this reassessment. As of today 17 June 2019, the template at the top of the article says "The good article status of this article is being reassessed by the community to determine whether the article meets the good article criteria. Please add comments to the reassessment page. Date: 09:01, 16 February 2019 (UTC)" That links here. MPS1992 (talk) 22:47, 17 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I closed the reassessment as "no consensus to delist" after a request for closure at WP:ANRFC. Would you or someone else be able to help with the technical work of closing a good article reassessment? Thanks, Cunard (talk) 23:56, 23 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
