Comments
  • Various thing in lead like "vote of no confidence", "snap election", etc. isn't in the prose. The lead should only be summary of the entire article.
  • Various other grammatical and MOS errors. Suggesting to submit the article for copy editing here WP:GOCE/REQ.
  • The two main article in the "Kerala Council of Ministers" subsections need to be merged in a single template.
  • "It consists of the governor, the chief minister and the Council of Ministers." – Not sure why Council and Ministers are capitalized.
  • "Like in other Indian states ........ for the Governor's approval." – Entire paragraph is uncited, when various statements like "The executive authority is headed by the Chief ...", "The present Chief Minister is Pinarayi Vijayan...", etc. require citation.
  • The only citation in "The governor is appointed ..... exercise or their own opinion." paragraph doesn't cites the whole text.
  • The current governor and powers of governor needs citation.
  • The only citation in "Legislative branch" section doesn't cite the whole text.
  • "152 CD blocks" – what is CD?
  • The list of departments need citation(s)
  • "State insignias" section – I doubt whether this is related to "Government of Kerala" or not. And again, it needs various other sources.
  • "When the kingdoms of Cochin..." → "When the Kingdom of Cochin..."
  • "Elections" sections is again entirely unsourced.
  • The "Politics" section is also unsourced, when various statements like
    • "The political alliance has strongly stabilised and, with rare exceptions, most of the coalition partners maintain loyalty to the alliance ...."
    • "In terms of individual parties, the state has strong leanings towards socialism and thus Communist parties have made strong inroads in Kerala. ...."
    • "The Bharatiya Janata Party (the Party that currently leads the Government of India) is also active in Kerala, but is not part ...."
    • "The CPI(M) led LDF did a clean sweep of 11–0 over UDF and NDA in ...."
    • "Other popular regional parties are: (entire list) ...."
  • "Awards and Honours" section – I doubt whether this is related to "Government of Kerala" or not.
  • I suggest adding Alt text to every image
  • Although not necessary, please consider some expert studies on this topic.
Final assessment
  • I am currently failing this nomination, majorly due to lack of citations. Feel free to re-nominate after addressing all the issues. Thanks! – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 10:15, 5 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
