====Good article reassessment====
On 13 March 2010, it was requested to check whether the good article (GA) status of the Toki Pona article needed reassessment.

More fun than encyclopedic".<ref name=":12">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Toki_Pona/GA2</ref><ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Sonjaaa&oldid=371038617#GA_reassessment_of_Toki_Pona</ref> On 20 March, the article was delisted from "Language and literature good articles".<ref name=":12" />
