This article is written in British English, which has its own spelling conventions (colour, travelled, centre, defence, artefact, analyse) and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus. This article has been viewed enough times in a single week to appear in the Top 25 Report. The week in which this happened: March 31 to April 6, 2013

I am reviewing this (old or very old) FA as part of WP:URFA/2020, an effort to determine whether old featured articles still meet the featured article criteria. The MOS:SANDWICH and considerable image layout issues are an indication that the article is not actively watched, and there are indications as well that the text has not been updated. I have cleaned up the image issues.

• Text should be reviewed throughout for datedness (sample: China is the major importer, purchasing 65,000 tonnes in 1999, followed by Singapore with 40,000 tonnes and Taiwan with 5,000 tonnes. In the same year, the United States imported 2,000 tonnes, mostly frozen, and the European Community imported 500 tonnes. ... cited to 2001). And "It has over 300 named varieties in Thailand and 100 in Malaysia, as of 1987." And "at least nine of which produce edible fruit" cited to 1987.
• User:Evad37/duplinks-alt can be installed to view the considerable duplicate links.
• There is uncited text.
• List of durian diseases and pests is an indication that the article is not comprehensive.
• There is odd organization; for example, Cultivation and availability contains information on History and a one-sentence Enviromental impact section.

@BorgQueen: unless someone is willing and able to update the article, it should be submitted to WP:FAR. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 19:05, 17 February 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi. I'm no longer interested in this article so feel free to take it to FAR. --BorgQueen (talk) 13:48, 18 February 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I notice Italian Wikipedia has quite a good article at GA level, though it appears to have been based in part on the English version. --Michael Goodyear ✐  ✉ 20:19, 2 April 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
