Page was promoted in 2016. Late last year, User:MADA245 made a substantial edit [1] that was near enough a re-write. The edit was tagged for introducing a deprecated unreliable source, though I don't know which one. The major problem is that MADA's edit stripped the page of references, I will lose count of how many unsourced Sections there are, never mind paragraphs. Due to the political nature of the article, and especially because he presided over an economic crash, sources are paramount. There is a lot of original research and opinions in the legacy section. I have half a mind to manually revert the page back to the version before MADA turned up, though I don't know if that would be allowed or would be disputed. But the page as it is, is so bad that it's not a GA, if it was submitted new today it would be rejected. Unknown Temptation (talk) 15:33, 8 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Unknown Temptation I don't see much unsourced content or any cleanup tags. Can you be more specific about how you think the article fails the GA criteria in its current state? (t · c) buidhe 00:47, 20 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Buidhe Hi, the page was overhauled in this edit in December 2020 by a new user who took away sources and added personal opinions [2]. I did a manual revert seven months later and I was unsure that it would be allowed to stand due to the size of the edit; I thought it would be challenged and told to discuss the big changes. [3] As nobody has challenged me in a month, maybe my fears were unfounded and you can close this review. Sorry if it's wasted your time. Unknown Temptation (talk) 17:17, 20 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Unknown Temptation No worries. In future, if you think you can fix the article yourself you can just do it and only if someone challenges it consider GAR or dispute resolution. (t · c) buidhe 19:53, 20 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
