- Result: No consensus. Good articles are not even required to have one citation per paragraph, as this article has general references (see
WP:GACN).

A GA from 2007. The biggest problem is the massive amount of unsourced material in the article that, if not taken care, will result in the article's delisting. Hopefully someone can work on this. Onegreatjoke ( talk) 03:04, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
- Also a Vital Article (L5) and should be promoted there. Gusfriend ( talk) 10:54, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
- It's hard to say and I believe that the article could be better. There are citations at the end of most paragraphs but usually high quality essays will have a citation at the end of each statement. I do not know if it should be delisted by Wikipedia standards but it could use some additional work.

- @ Jorahm: if everything in the paragraph supported by the citation given, that's fine by Wikipedia standards. You do not need to repeat the same citation multiple times within a paragraph. That if is a big if for some articles; some people put a citation at the end of the paragraph that only supports the last sentence, and forget to put a citation needed tag for the rest of the paragraph. —Femke 🐦 ( talk) 14:21, 15 January 2023 (UTC)
