GA status and sourcing concerns

edit

This older GA promotion is one of the articles flagged as high-risk for not meeting the modern GA criteria at WP:SWEEPS2023. My primary concern here is that a number of the sources used do not rise to the level of reliability required for GA sourcing:

  • "Hitchcock, Don (2004-12-13). "Golubac". Retrieved 2007-01-28." - personal website; unclear why this would be considered RS
  • "Vladislav cel Inalt Tepelus. "Timeline of Romanian History, 900-1472". Romanian Knowledge Page. Archived from the original on 2008-12-01. Retrieved 2007-03-23." - someone's personal research for their "persona", unclear why this would be considered a RS
  • "Harmankaya, Kaan (2002). "Die Familie Mihaloglu - Harmankaya" (in German). Archived from the original on 2017-08-19. Retrieved 2007-03-29." - family genealogical webpage, unclear how this would be reliable enough to meet the GA reliable sourcing criteria
  • NNDB has been deprecated as an unreliable source
  • "Golubac". Archived from the original on 2007-03-09. Retrieved 2007-01-28." - looks like another old personal website; again unlikely to be a reliable source.

If the sourcing is not improved, a good article reassessment will likely be necessary. Hog Farm Talk 18:06, 27 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
