Result: Kept Issues appear to have been resolved AIRcorn (talk) 18:37, 21 March 2018 (UTC).[reply]

This article was approved as a GA in 2014. In January 2016, a user unilaterally moved the page to Territorial possessions of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta, and added a few sections consisting of short bullet points to turn it into a list. The original text of the GA was kept. I made a move request a few months later, archived at Talk:Territorial possessions of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta; the admin said that the text would have to be moved manually. I finally made the manual move after other users weighed in and consensus seemed present to restore the text to its original location. The text remains essentially the same as it was in 2014 when it was assessed, and I would like to see GA status restored. Fishal (talk) 13:49, 13 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Fishal: The article is currently listed as good. From a cursory look I am not seeing anything that would make it not pass our criteria. Is there anything you need me to do or can I close this as kept. AIRcorn (talk) 02:48, 21 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Aircorn:, you can close it. The issue of the moved article was resolved; keeping the re-listing was recommended by the admin who handled the move just in case. Thank you for looking into it. Fishal (talk) 11:23, 21 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Reconstitution of article

Fishal, this article really needs to have its history restored, both the article and talk pages. (To do so, go to WP:REPAIR and make a request at the top of the New requests section.) Since this is an article split, but done to restore the original article content under its original name while the other material survives in its own article, I wouldn't use the "histmerge" template.

So far as I can tell, the removal of Good Article status/icon was out of process: it shouldn't have been removed absent a reassessment, which did not occur. So, technically, once the history is there, the GA status should also still be there. I think a reassessment at this time is a good idea nevertheless, to be sure the article still meets the GA criteria in its current form, but starting from an article that was made a GA in November 2014. BlueMoonset (talk) 19:10, 25 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the recommendation. I added the GA template to the top of the article, and I'll keep the reassessment open. Fishal (talk) 04:40, 28 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
