GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

The article gets the presumption of for all six criteria (since it is currently already GA) unless I give an explanation pointing to the contrary.

  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b ( MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
    The prose/writing is fine. But the article structure seems very confusing and unprofessional--
    “International career” and “domestic career” sections do not make sense! —Why is 2016 domestic achievements after 2019 World Cup? All his career highlights should be chronologically listed.
    “Injury problems” subsection contains non-injury related info.
    “Personal life” section should be separate from “early life” and placed later in the article.
    “Playing style” should be merged into a “career” section.
    “Records and achievements” would look better either in paragraphs or wikitable, not bullet points.
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a ( reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c ( OR): d ( copyvio and plagiarism):
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a ( major aspects): b ( focused):
  4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias:
  5. It is stable.
    No edit wars, etc.:
    Lack of article stability: update required? I’m no cricket expert, maybe someone else can shed a light on whether this article contains the subject’s latest career stats.
  6. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
    a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b ( appropriate use with suitable captions):
    Another photo of the subject from his early life, if one is available, would be lovely.
  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:
    I'll try to fix stuff to the best of my ability. The last thing I want to do is to delist this or any GA. I have reached out to the nominator and major editors, and let's get this article back to GA standards!
  • @ Nemoschool: How is this going? Ready to close it yet? AIRcorn  (talk) 10:36, 15 January 2020 (UTC) reply
    • Obviously abandoned. In two minds on this. I don't think it is terribly out of date as not much cricket (or sport in general) has been played this year. I don't like the prose though. Seeing as this has been left in limbo for so long I am going to close as no consensus. If another editor is willing to take on a GA reassessment they are welcome to AIRcorn  (talk) 21:56, 22 October 2020 (UTC) reply
