Sadly, based on this discussion, I'm not sure that this article, which was delisted as a GA in 2014, is up to current ACR standards. There's a decent amount of uncited text in the first section of the body, and I have comprehensiveness concerns as well. The infobox mentions conflicts it was used in, and the lead mentions that it was used throughout the British Empire, but the only usage really discussed in the body is civil use by the Canadian Mounted Police. Hopefully this can be brought back up to snuff, but it'll need some work. Hog Farm Talk 04:09, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delist: The article appears to have undergone an unattributed split here: [1] into the Enfield No. 2. Not sure if that was discussed at the time, and I am not an expert on this topic so can't comment much further about its efficacy. Unfortunately, though, it clearly does not meet the current A-class requirements (uncited paragraphs and seemingly lacking coverage) and unless someone has the skills, knowledge and willpower to work on it, it will need to be delisted. Arguably, it would be start class, IMO (B1=no and B2=no), not C class. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 13:23, 21 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delist - needs significant work to even meet the b-class criteria. Hog Farm Talk 18:24, 22 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delist - yes, agree with delisting. Coverage of design and development is lacking. I see Milhist bot has automatically classed it as C-class, which is probably generous. Zawed (talk) 02:24, 24 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delist - agree with the above. –♠Vami_IV†♠ 17:47, 27 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
