GA Sweeps: Delisted[edit]

As part of the WikiProject Good Articles, we're doing sweeps to go over all of the current GAs and see if they still meet the GA criteria. I believe the article currently has multiple issues that need to be addressed, and as a result, I have delisted the article. Although there are some form of inline citations, they need to follow the guidelines of parenthetical referencing. The main reason for delisting is that I don't believe that the article meets the broad requirement (3). It would be beneficial to mention more details on who speaks it, the history of the languages, its impact on other languages, etc. Look to similar articles for ideas on expanding this one. Add additional sources from a variety of sources to provide a balanced representation of the information present. Perhaps sources can be pulled from the main articles linked to within the article. Look to books, magazines, newspaper articles, other websites, etc. Although it has been delisted, the article can be return to GA status by addressing the above points. Once sources are added and cleanup is done, I recommend renominating the article at WP:GAN. If you need assistance with any of these issues, please contact me on my talk page and I'll do my best to help you out. --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 03:54, 15 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
