This article is about Sri Lanka Land Defense force, Sri Lanka Army. I think that all the criteria needed for an FA, include in this article. So I believe it should featured. 49lk (talk) 04:16, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose from Harrias

I suggest this this nomination is immediately withdrawn. The article is not ready, and the nominator is not a major contributor to the article. Some quick, and major issues:

  • Large parts of the article are completely unreferenced.
  • Those sources that are used are inconsistently formatted.
  • Those sources that are used frequently include raw htmls, and omit author details and dates.
  • There is inappropriate use of bold text, particularly in the "Training" section.
  • The prose is not a the required quality for Featured content.

Long story short, this article is nowhere near consideration for Featured status. Harrias talk 08:05, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Per Harrias, who beat me to it. I have just (re-)assessed the article as C class for MilHist. Gog the Mild (talk) 08:26, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Coord note

Hi, lack of editor involvement is enough for a procedural close but if you want to pursue this and actually delve into the article to improve it, suggest you take it through GAN and then MilHist A-Class Review before considering another run at FAC.
