This article should be removed from GA per Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Dhaka Residential Model College/archive1. It is POV, has many sources that say something other than the accompanying text. I have written down many examples on that page YellowMonkey (new photo poll) 04:06, 8 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delist As YellowMonkey points out, the sourcing is terrible. Many statements do not match the citation, and a lot of the article is unsourced. For the Alumni section, for example, we want sources that state that the person went to this school (other bits can be added once this is verified). However, many of the sources don't do this, documented as follows:
  • Sheikh Jamal. The first source doesn't mention him attending this school, it cites something else. The second source does (page 7, which should go on the article) but is a badly written powerpoint presentation. (Not sure if this is allowed. Probably passes for reliable as it comes from the Bangladesh Awami League political party.)
  • Tarique Rahman. First source is an account of a guy called Giasuddin Al Mamun claiming he went to school with Rahman. Second source goes to an empty page which says "Profile ....................... have to write." on his personal website -- so why is it even here? Luckily the third source is a report saying that he did go to this school.
  • Shamsher M. Chowdhury. First source says nothing. So does the second.
  • Abdun Nur Tushar. I believe both sources don't mention the connection.
  • Mohamed Mijarul Quaye. Source says nothing.
  • Dr Nizamuddin Ahmed. No strict connection, just that he handed out checks during a scholarship ceremony at the school.
  • Shafiq Alam Mehedi. Second source nothing. First source is offline so cannot check.
So out of seven "alumni", 4 or 5 don't pass verification. The writing isn't so good either; a sentence begins "Some of which are open only to students in certain years..", lots of redundant "also". In Sports, it says "one of its players won the Man of the Match trophy", but the source straight after this has no mention of this. The whole article suffers from this problem; seems that half the sources fail verification. Christopher Connor (talk) 05:01, 8 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
