Is Brit "repeate" = US repeat ?66.74.176.59 (talk) 06:04, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

No, it was a typo. Fixed. Thanks for spotting it. JohnCD (talk) 08:40, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

FAR needed?

I think this article has major issues and is no longer a Featured Article. Unless major improvements are made, I think we need to take this to Featured Article Review. The main points here:

  • There are numerous unsourced statements. This is a BLP which makes this a major problem.
  • There are prose issues throughout, and I'm not sure this would pass FAC today; lots of run-on sentences and repetitive structures. Someone should look closely at this.
  • The lead basically stops in 2008 and has nothing for the last eight years
  • "Harbhajan Singh married his longtime girlfriend, actress Geeta Basra, on 29 October 2015 in Jalandhar." is listed in "Early Life"
  • There is hardly anything about his career between 2011 and 2015
  • The structure of the article is fairly impenetrable.
  • The later text is basically prose line.
  • Quite a lot of fancruft throughout.
  • These are the changes since the article was last at FAR. Sarastro1 (talk) 21:23, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
