I am happy to review this entry. I will leave some initial feedback soon. Larry Hockett (Talk) 09:11, 6 November 2020 (UTC)

Unfortunately, this entry appears to have been nominated prematurely. Two things stick out to me after reading through the entry: 1) The lead section is not an adequate summary of the most important contents of the body. 2) More importantly, it appears that there is a significant amount of unsourced material, especially for content that could be considered counterintuitive or likely to be challenged.

In the Political spectrum section, the article itself describes the positions of distributism as "somewhat paradoxical and complicated", but there is only one citation provided (for a direct quote) in the entire section. Similarly, there are significant unsourced passages in several sections, including Background and the entire Economic theory section.

Since there is a significant amount of work to do on references alone, and to best respect the time of reviewers who are working through backlogged GA nomination queues, quick fail is an appropriate result right now, per WP:GAFAIL criterion 3. A full review can be undertaken later when the referencing is improved. Larry Hockett (Talk) 09:48, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
