Result: Delisted. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 18:30, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The article was nominated for GA in 2009. Since then a lot has changed, which has led to a lower quality article. After 2010 the article contains no coherent story, but rather incidents. Biographies of him are not used, but only articles about these incidents. The article is focused too much on international initiatives and travel bans, while leaving out many important things on the national stage. Party election results are often mentioned, but rarely linked directly to the person of Geert Wilders. Alltogether I believe it does not meet criteria 1, 3 and given recent national developments also not 5. Dajasj (talk) 08:15, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delist Agree that it is currently not in very good state. The problem from any article about an active person - factoids keep accumulating making the article more cluttered - while leaving them out would make the article outdated. As is now it seems the introduction is very long but any post 2010 details seem almost completely missing. As Dajasj states, the more recent inclusions are a long listing of incidents without sufficient narrative. I do disagree with Dajasj though on part election results as his political party (PVV) has only one single member: Geert Wilders, making the party results very much his personal results. Nevertheless I think that the article needs a very thorough revision / rewrite that ensures the style and quality of the pre-2010 sections is brought inline with newer sections. All in all I do not think it meets GA standard right now. Arnoutf (talk) 19:50, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
