;Initial thoughts (personal)
Okay this is just awkward to say, but when I first started editing.. I was like your biggest fan. I saw your name on WP:GAN#POL and decided to do this article next.
;Initial thoughts (article)
The article is a bit on the shorter side for what I normally would expect for a GA-class article. It does leave some things up as an open question (like why Torobayev withdrew his presidential bid), and it really doesn't explain things well to a person not familiar with the politics of Kyrgyzstan. I'm also seeing that the sourcing concerns at the peer review have not been able to be addressed. It's a dang shame because the lack of local language references really does hold the article back a bit.
;Specific issues
- {{tq|Between 1998 and 1999, he worked on a farm named "Asia-Suzak" as its chairman.}} should be tagged to its source
- {{tq|Originally a political movement, Onuguu–Progress...}} I have no clue what this means.
- {{tq|...Torobayev joined the Respublika Party of Kyrgyzstan... Torobayev and Babanov frequently clashed in the party, which led to Torobayev leaving Respublika and founding Onuguu–Progress.}} This seems to imply that was why it was founded, but then wouldn't that make it a political party?
- {{tq|Onuguu–Progress held its first congress on 1 February 2012,}} Was this the same year it was founded or when Torobayev left Respublika?
- {{tq|The party first stood candidates in the 2015 parliamentary election...}} Was Torobayev one of them?
- Why did Torobayev withdraw his presidential bid?
- Can you translate the quote [https://vesti.kg/politika/item/48147-bakyit-torobaev-snimaet-svoyu-kandidaturu.html here]?
- [https://eurasianet.org/kyrgyzstan-presidential-losers-grip-on-parliamentary-power-base-falters This] mentions the deal he struck with Omurbek Babanov.
- What kind of parties are Mekenim-Kyrgyzstan and Respublika–Ata Zhurt? Do they share similar ideology to Onuguu–Progress?
- {{tq|the station accused his supporters of bribing voters.}} Was there merit to this claim?
- Eurasianet seems to describe him as prominently a political heavy weight and unabashedly against the current government regime (the Kyrgyzstan Party). I think that is the context needed to explain most of his actions.
;Conclusion
I generally am lenient with deadlines when people have been waiting for a while to get a proper review. Please address these concerns over the course of the next two weeks and ping me with your response. Cheers! :D –MJL ‐Talk‐☖ 19:05, 6 September 2019 (UTC)

::{{re|Aircorn}} Since it's been two weeks since this message now, I suppose that this review has to conclude as a fail. –MJL ‐Talk‐☖ 17:55, 1 December 2019 (UTC)
