Former good articleDirective Principles was one of the Social sciences and society good articles, but it has been removed from the list. There are suggestions below for improving the article to meet the good article criteria. Once these issues have been addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake.

Did You Know A fact from this article appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the "Did you know?" column on July 9, 2006.
The text of the entry was: Did you know ...that the Directive Principles in India, which are guidelines for the government while framing laws and policies, were inspired by the Irish nationalist movement?
Current status: Delisted good article

Good article nominee edit

  • Some things that jump out immediately that would keep me from passing this is as a good artice are:
    • Picture placement - because of poor picture placement/formatting, there two gaping white holes in the article where the text dosn't wrap around.
    • Headings - some of these headings have odd titles that are not readily clear to a casual reader, or even encyclopedic: Genisis and Inspration. Headings should be consistant and corresponding with other like articles. More appropriate heading titles might be: History, Development, Background, or even other original but specific and brief heading titles. I'm wondering if the Genesis, Inspiration, and Significance and characteristics couldnt' be intergrated more seamlessly? They all seem to essentiall deal with teh motivation and basis for the institution of the policy.
    • The notes section should precede the references section (BTW, the references section is very nice)--Esprit15d 18:45, 2 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

GA re-assessment edit

A few more comments on the articles need to be addressed and it is for that reason that the article will be on hold in the nomination process. Stated below are the comments :

  • The first two paragraph in the lead section say the same thing. Just blending the two together would do the job.
  • Subsectioning the sections would help the readers and the writers.
  • The first 3 sentences of the Characteristics section repeat what was said in the History section.

  • Subsectioning the sections would help the readers and the writers. - If you read the article carefully, you'll realize that subsectioning is not possible.
  • The first 3 sentences of the Characteristics section repeat what was said in the History section. - done

I see no other points that should prevent the article to be brought up to the GA status. I, thus, grant the GA status. Lincher 11:56, 21 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

Move? edit

Any reason why this should not be moved to Directive Principles of State Policy, which is currently a redirect here that I created about three seconds ago? Hornplease 19:35, 5 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

I would suggest Directive Principles of State Policy in India as a compromise, or if not, then I would prefer to stick with the current name. --May the Force be with you! Shreshth91 13:35, 11 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

GA status reviewed — kept edit

Directive Principles in IndiaDirective Principles – As per WP:COMMONNAME. A redirect has long existed and no other similar article exists. – Filpro (talk) 18:47, 11 June 2016 (UTC) Relisted. Jenks24 (talk) 12:03, 20 June 2016 (UTC)Reply

@Filpro: This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 04:06, 12 June 2016 (UTC)Reply
  • Support - Directive Principles already redirects here. Despite Anthony Appleyard's claim, there are no other candidates for Directive Principles, so this is not only the primary topic, but the sole topic. --Joshua Issac (talk) 19:31, 21 June 2016 (UTC)Reply
    • Many nations and other organizations have principles, and some of them are directive, even if they are not called that. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 19:55, 21 June 2016 (UTC)Reply
      • If "they are not called that" and there is no Wikipedia article about them, there is nothing to disambiguate. See WP:PRECISION ("titles should be precise enough to unambiguously define the topical scope of the article, but no more precise than that").  AjaxSmack  20:45, 21 June 2016 (UTC)Reply

In its current state, it should be delisted due to a severe lack of inline citations unless someone adds the corresponding references. Phlsph7 (talk) 13:26, 11 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
