• I will start a GA reassessment shortly. Nsk92 (talk) 14:41, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

It seems to me that the article falls significantly short of the GA standards in its current form. Let me list some of the issues:

• There are problems with the lede. The opening sentence lists so many descriptives that it leaves the reader rather confused as to what this guy really does.
• The list in "Other ideas" section does not appear to conform to WP:EMBED.
• There are significant problems with the breadth of coverage:
  • No info is given about his early life and family background (not even where he was born);
  • No info at all is given about his personal life (marriage, children, etc)
  • The section "Prediction of the USA's collapse in 2010" seems too short and insufficiently detailed, given that that prediction appears to be his most visible claim to notability. There are no details given in this section regarding how the prediction was received in Russia and abroad, and no information about updates in relation to that prediction. As I understand it, since some of the key dates related to the prediction have already passed, there was some recent relevant coverage not included in the article.
  • In general, there is very little info in the article about how various ideas of Panarin are regarded in Russia and in the West. Rather, the article simply provides a fairly long list of his views on various topics. This represents WP:balance as well as a breadth of coverage problem.

I do not believe that these problems can be quickly remedied and I think that the article should be de-listed from GA. Nsk92 (talk) 14:57, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

Since nobody has come forward indicating intent to work on improving the article, I am closing the GA reassessment as "de-listed". Nsk92 (talk) 08:40, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
