Failed "good article" nomination
[edit]This article has failed its Good article nomination. This is how the article, as of December 19, 2016, compares against the six good article criteria:
- 1. Well written?: Unfortunately, the page has been tagged with the {{In-universe}} tag since August 2016. That alone is a quick-fail.
- 2. Verifiable?: "Notes on Angerthas Daeron" section is unsourced. Lots of article citations say: "on Tolkien Gateway wiki." This violates WP:Original research and also WP:CIRCULAR as we can't cite another wiki, and is a quick-fail.
- 3. Broad in coverage?: Article relies heavily upon WP:PRIMARY sources and not WP:SECONDARY sources, so difficult to address thoroughness here.
- 4. Neutral point of view?: Due to over-reliance on primary sources, concerns about neutrality due to concerns about how to assess WP:WEIGHT because we don't have a good balance of secondary sources.
- 5. Stable?: Not much conflict, but also not much activity from the nominator since August 2016. They said on the talk page they were planning to address the "in-universe" problems, haven't seen it yet.
- 6. Images?: File:Cirth word.png could be moved to Wikimedia Commons.
This one would need considerable work to improve it to be a good article, most glaringly to remove all the citations to another wiki, remove or trim the primary source reliance, and then expand again after research from secondary sources, instead.
When these issues are addressed, the article can be renominated. If you feel that this review is in error, feel free to have it reassessed. Thank you for your work so far.— Sagecandor (talk) 02:59, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
