One of the oldest ones remaining on the list at WP:URFA/2020, this 2006 promotion is not at current FA sourcing standards. Large chunks of the article (including entire paragraphs and the entire overthrowing the democracy section) are sourced only to ancient sources. While primary sources are okay in light doses in FAs, use of ancient sources need to be careful, and they are overused here. Hog Farm _Talk 01:38, 24 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Move to FARC So significant edits since notice has been placed on talk, this will need new sources to replace the overreliance on primary documents. Z1720 (talk) 00:03, 4 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Move to FARC - no engagement. All edits since May 2020 are either gnoming, category, or formatting edits. Hog Farm _Talk 14:48, 5 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
