[edit] Delisted GA

I delisted this article from GA status because:

  • First off, it appears to be a self-nomination, by User:BorgQueen
  • Lack of inline citations, which aren't a requirement, but still would be useful
  • Needs copyediting:

Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera), also known as Indian ginseng, Winter cherry, Ajagandha, Kanaje Hindi and Samm Al Ferakh, is a plant in Solanaceae or nightshade family. - needs the word "the" There are other instances of poor writing

  • Weak lead; one sentence paragraph?
  • poor 2-sentence history
  • weak, not thorough
