Result: Closed as no consensus DragonZero (Talk · Contribs) 23:22, 2 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, this article has not been consistently updated since being listed as a GA. As a result, much of the data in the article is out-of-date, relying on the 2001 rather than the 2011 census, for example. There are also unsourced statements in the article and numerous grammatical errors. I have tried to find editors who will work with me to update the article, but no one has responded to my comments on the talk page. Cordless Larry (talk) 17:12, 6 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Further to the above, the article is now subject to some edit warring over the article title and the selection of images of notable people included in the infobox. I have suggested that the edit warriors could better direct their efforts towards improving the article content. Cordless Larry (talk) 16:20, 23 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I intend to close this as no consensus next week. If you want a different ruling, see if you can get other participants. DragonZero (Talk · Contribs) 18:29, 22 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

With no offence intended to you, DragonZero, it would kind of suck for this to be closed without anyone even offering a view, especially when there are clear issues with the article. Do you have any suggestions for where I could get other participants from? Cordless Larry (talk) 21:10, 22 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Have you tried the parent projects. And it's been months, who else is going to come? As far as I know, I'm the only one closing community GARs for the past year or so. DragonZero (Talk · Contribs) 07:19, 23 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I've just posted reminders about this at Wikipedia talk:Noticeboard for Bangladesh-related topics, Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Ethnic groups and Wikipedia talk:UK Wikipedians' notice board. Hopefully that will attract some participants. Sorry to hear that you've been the only one dealing with these cases, DragonZero - it's not really fair for it all to fall on one person.

DragonZero, there's been no response to my requests, so I guess this will have to be closed as no consensus. Just to check though, does the fact that I nominated this for community reassessment prevent me from providing that reassessment? I'd be quite happy to go through the whole article and assess it against the criteria, but I'm not sure if that is allowed. Cordless Larry (talk) 12:28, 31 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It's fine if you open up an individual assessment. It's not in bad faith since you aren't redoing this due to a consensus against you. A consensus was never formed since there was no participant to begin with. Just make sure your reasons are clear against the GA criteria since it will probably be closed as delist due to the lack of response. DragonZero (Talk · Contribs) 20:01, 31 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the advice. Just to be clear, should I wait for this reassessment to be closed, and then open a new, individual, reassessment page (as opposed to posting my reassessment here)? Cordless Larry (talk) 20:51, 31 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You have to wait for this to close, which I just did.

DragonZero, would you be able to update Talk:British Bangladeshi to reflect the closure? I tried to do it myself but couldn't get it to work. Cordless Larry (talk) 14:41, 7 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
