{{GATable/item|7|n|quick failed, does not meet criterion 1a, 2a and 2b. Remaining criterion not fully assessed. Needs a thorough copy edit (suggest approach be made to the Guild of Copy Editors), citation system needs to reflect MOS, and in an article on this topic, all paragraphs must have at least one citation to a reliable source.

:After 20-odd pages of archived talk and tens of thousands of edits here is the result - an article that is in such a dismally bad state that it fails so badly on the initial GA criteria hurdles that is not even worth assessing it on the other criteria attributes. Why is the article so bad? Is there is a serious problem with the editing skills or the goals of the editors who have worked on this article? Why were some editors deluded enough to think it was in a condition to get GA status when it was so obviously not? Tiptoethrutheminefield (talk) 23:10, 23 July 2014 (UTC)

@Tiptoethrutheminefield we could have it peer rewieved and create a task group ? kazekagetr 20:18, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

::I think the article is beyond help. In an ideal world, one fair-minded and honest and sincere and knowledgeable editor (if such a person can exist on Wikipedia without already being blocked for life) should try to rewrite it all from scratch, having some regard for the existing content but making that regard as minimal as possible. And all previous talk page discussions should be ignored during this rewrite. Tiptoethrutheminefield (talk) 03:23, 28 March 2015 (UTC)
