Checking against GA criteria

GA review (see here for criteria)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

   Abraham Isaac Quintanilla Jr or simply known as Abraham was born on February 20, 1939 Rather clumsy, please rephrase.

   Abraham was a Mexican American singer-songwriter and record producer for his band Los Dinos and for Selena y Los Dinos, which mostly consisted of his children When did he stop being this?

   Abraham is mostly known as the father of Selena, whose passion for music arose in his teens when he joined the group Los Dinos (English: The Guys) in the 1950s Surely Selena is female?

   The band's successful single Give Me One Chance sold 150,000 copiesa and became the band's wheel when the song had heavy airplay, at the time of its released, in South Texas[3]. Abraham's group was discriminated by Whites for being Americans of Mexican decent[4][5]. Los Dinos were even booed out of buildings for not knowing any Mexican music[6][7]. The bands' popularity dwindlwed in numbers and record sales began to fall. Abraham quit the band in early 1970s to support his family.[8] Oh this is very bad, spelling and grammar mistakes throughout. Please get this copy-edited.

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

   IMDb can only be used as a reliable source for casting details, not biographical details which are user added. (ref #1)[1]

   Ref #36[2] failed verification, as did ref #35[3]

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

   Hard to determine with such a poorly written article.

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

   No images used.

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

   I am failing this nomination as a lot of work will be required to make this article meet the GA criteria. Jezhotwells (talk) 17:17, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

I have tried my best to fixed grammar errors and citations. I am having trouble with ref #'s 35 and 36. AJona1992 (talk) 17:20, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

The nomination failed. When you have fixed issues and checked against the WP:GACR, please renominate. Jezhotwells (talk) 19:08, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

That doesn't help at all. I'm going to ask for a Peer Review instead then. AJona1992 (talk) 19:44, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
