Garry Kasparov

Article is no longer a featured article

Fails criteria 2.a, not brilliant prose, choppily written and does not flow well; 2.c, very few citations in the article, even for direct quotations; 5, wanders into politics of the World Championship. Further, according to this article's original FAC, it probably shouldn't have been featured to begin with (I count 1 support vote and 1 oppose). --Ryan Delaney ^talk 11:54, 27 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Remove Featured articles have improved a lot since 2003, and this article no longer qualifies. (Narkstraws 15:10, 27 December 2005 (UTC))[reply]
Remove, no references, poor prose. —Kirill Lokshin 02:55, 28 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Remove. Per existing arguments by Ryan Delaney, Narkstraws, and Kirill Lokshin. -Rebelguys2 21:34, 28 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Reluctant remove. Pity, it would make a good FA if fixed up, but who's going to do the considerable amount of work required? Tony 07:00, 4 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Remove. Ryan Delaney makes valid observations. The article is not awful, but it is not an outstanding one either. Sjakkalle (Check!) 09:32, 4 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
