GA Reassessment

[edit]

I am challenging the GA status of this article because it relies heavily on the notional article "Saqib Saleem: From Cricketer to Actor" which is not online. I am more than usually suspicious of this source because of a recently discovered false source presented by Legolas2186 at the article Madonna: Like an Icon. I am interested in finding out whether Legolas2186 has fabricated other sources in a similar manner. Binksternet (talk) 17:54, 15 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The biggest problem here is the following cite:

  • Deb, Anupama (2011-11-09). "Saqib Saleem: From Cricketer to Actor". Starweek Magazine. Bennett & Coleman Ltd: 19–22.

This must be verified or a good portion of the article must be removed, the text supported by the cite. Binksternet (talk) 18:53, 25 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the Starweek Magazine article along with text that was supported only by it. Binksternet (talk) 16:13, 27 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • The lead can be fleshed out a bit with the remaining citations, something about Delhi, the restaurant chain, leaving home to find modeling jobs in Mumbai. Another possibility is that perhaps a new source has become available, with details we haven't seen yet. Binksternet (talk) 04:52, 3 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I am delisting the article for lack of depth of coverage. Interested editors are welcome to expand it and resubmit it to WP:GAN. Thanks to everybody for their attention and work. Binksternet (talk) 15:01, 18 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
