Full of the WP:POV and WP:Verify issues dealt with at length here: Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Jagged 85. Much of the material has already been removed elswhere; half of the article consists of unconnected material dropped down with little regard to internal structure or consistency. Having this many and grave issue, the article is far below the standards of other GA. Gun Powder Ma (talk) 10:24, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
- Concur There are serious problems of verification in this article, as in others dealing with Islamic astronomy. The talk page is full of comments about changes that have been and need to be made. Despite some improvements it is still in need of drastic rewrite by dedicated editors who have the time to do the research. Until then, it should not be recommended to readers by listing it as a good article. --SteveMcCluskey (talk) 14:03, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
- Concur, recommended immediate delisting. This is a common issue for articles on Islam and technology on Wikipedia. This article needs to be delisted. From what I can see, anything other than a total rewrite from scratch would be a waste of time. :bloodofox: (talk) 18:22, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
- Agree to delisting, esp. in light of the issues canvassed at the RfC. hamiltonstone (talk) 23:51, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
- The reassessment has been running for two weeks now and there is agreement that the article in its present form is not up to GA standard. Thus, I am going to delist it. Gun Powder Ma (talk) 21:53, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
