Lead is too short. Needs a few more sentences to better summarise the article. Who is " VPF International Ltd" and "D.T. Hong Kong Ltd"; this section needs a bit of context. Spell out US. Cronologoy in history could be better (in 2011 should come after 2009). Bit US centric (i,e in the US and internationally should just be internationally). In what way was the Mumbai store serving as a model for the others. Repetition As of 2011, the company has over 1,110 franchisees worldwide. is mentioned in different sections. Don't use ® and TM.
Citation needed tags present, plus It was ranked number 42 on the 2012 Entrepreneur Franchise 500. It also ranked first in category in the Franchise 500 in the years 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 also needs a citation. Sponsership and awards is completely unreferenced.
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
It seems very short, but sometimes there is not information available. I did a quick google news search and got quite a few hits, but none of the links I checked expanded too much on what was already here or were just store announcement openings. I would like to know more on what their product is. You mention it briefly in the lead, but it should have it's own section (everything in the lead should be mentioned in the body anyway). The
external link could possibly add more info.
Am going to pass this. Some of the rankings and history seem a bit promotional and I thought the lawsuit was a bit undue. Ideally I would rather see it worked into another section unless it was a major issue. However overall I didn't get the impression it was leaning too far one way or the other.
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
Overall: Sorry I am going to fail this at this point. I think it needs quite a bit of work before it is at Good article standard. I would encourage you to address the issues raised above and renominate at a later date.
Pass/Fail:
Terrorism-support controversy
The section on the "Terrorism-support controversy" has several issues. These were pointed out by
ALM1776 (
talk·contribs). However, their version of the section is even more problematic.
First, the section has as its primary source a blog. This fails
WP:RS, and should instead be sourced to one of the news articles that covers the issue such as
[1] or
[2]. Next, it needs added in the source from the anti-defamation league; which is mentioned in the current version, but not cited to
[3].
In sum, I think the entire section can be trimmed substantially per
WP:WEIGHT, to simply say claims exist which have been refuted by the ADL and the company itself, as well as using better sourcing mentioned above. ---
