Result: Delist on poor prose quality. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 12:55, 9 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

My reasons for nomination can be seen at Talk:Madagascar women's national football team/GA2, an individual reassessment that I performed. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 16:05, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'll get to this one. Sportsfan77777 (talk) 10:31, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • I updated the article. That constituted getting rid of the empty lists (where the information is not known), and adding three tournaments for the main national team (COSAFA from 2017 to 2019). I checked if the youth national team participated in any events since the most recent one mentioned and I don't think they have. Sportsfan77777 (talk) 10:55, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Some of the other points that were raised in the individual reassessment (which I was believe was poorly done) do not disqualify the article from GA status per the instructions "Many problems (including not meeting the general notability guidelines, the presence of dead URLs, inconsistently formatted citations, and compliance with the Manual of Style) are not covered by the GA criteria and therefore not grounds for delisting". Also some of these changes are simple enough to make yourself per the instructions "Those who add an article to good article reassessment should feel free to fix problems with the article; this is not regarded as a conflict of interest".

  • I think this is sufficient to close the article as keep. Sportsfan77777 (talk) 10:55, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Also, I saw Indy Beetle's concern about whether there is too much information about football in Africa in general. I don't agree with that. We have hundreds of "small countries at the Olympics" articles that do basically the same thing (i.e. repeating more general information) for the background section, and it looks fine in those articles.

  • Keep. Thanks for implementing the improvements, Sportsfan77777. I made a couple of minor tweaks. I think that the general information about football in Africa is likely to benefit readers. Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 10:24, 26 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    @Sportsfan77777: the prose issues of the individual GA have not been addressed. Untill that's done, I do not think the article meets the GA criteria (so delist until that is done). —Femke 🐦 (talk) 07:40, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
