There are a few issues with this article and I'm wondering if it should still be listed as a good article:

  • There are several dead links among the references.
  • Some overlinking issues too. For instance al-Qaeda, bin Laden, Taliban and Pakistan are linked too many times. There are also links to states or cities like Indonesia, Malaysia or Hamburg which I think are not relevant to the article.
  • The "Long term effect" section doesn't seem comprehensive - in particular I would expect to see a subsection about the consequences on government policies all around the world regarding terrorism.
  • The "FBI investigation" section seems to short (only two sentences).
  • The pictures seem a bit random - for instance it's not clear why these two pictures [1][2] are in the "Economic aftermath" section or this one in "International response". It seems they've been put there for decoration only. Also I would have expected to see at least one picture of Osama bin Laden in the section about him.

So overall it's not a bad article but there are quite a few issues in my opinion. Laurent (talk) 21:18, 30 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Given the work needed to bring this article back to GA status and the lack of interest in doing so, I have delisted it. Laurent (talk) 22:20, 19 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
