GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

---

I have reviewed this article, and do not believe it meets the criteria. I also believe the edits necessary to achieve GA status are too numerous to warrant putting the nomination on hold.

1. Is it reasonably well written?

   A. Prose quality:

   There are numerous grammatical errors, and slang is used occasionally in the article.

   B. MoS compliance:

   There is no lead section, and there is a trivia section, which is discouraged by the manual of style.

2. Is it factually accurate and verifiable?

   A. References to sources:

   There are references to some sources, but I am not sure if there are enough. Also, there is a reference to a Wikipedia article, which does not count as a 3rd-party source.

   B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:

   There are some citations in the article, but there are also unsourced statements in the article which should be cited. I will add {{fact}} templates to indicate which statements I believe should be cited.

   C. No original research:

   Because of the aforementioned lack of citations, I cannot be sure whether there is original research in this article.

3. Is it broad in its coverage?

   A. Major aspects:

   B. Focused:

4. Is it neutral?

   Fair representation without bias:

   The article seems to have a small bias toward its subject; it seems to glorify the artist in question.

5. Is it stable?

   No edit wars, etc:

6. Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?

   A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:

   B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:

   These criteria are null because there are no images in the article.

7. Overall:

   Pass or Fail:

   Due to the above mentioned problems, I am failing this article for GA status. If these issues are resolved, please feel free to nominate the article again. Robert Skyhawk (Talk) 17:24, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
