Auto-fail: There are multiple completely unsourced sections (namely "Days of week of holidays" and "Deficient, regular, and complete years") as well as many paragraphs with no references whatsoever and some "citation needed" tags. It therefore has a long way to go to meet criterion#2 of WP:Good article criteria; verifiability. As a rule of thumb, each paragraph should end with at least one in-text citation, and use multiple sources if needed to support all of a paragraph's text. With regards to the citations this does provide, I'm not sure if bible verses should be linked within text as they currently are or used within "ref" tags (i.e. <ref>Genesis 1:15</ref>). On another note, an issue I have with the criterion#1—the prose—is that there's lots of really short paragraphs, which makes the text look choppy. Try merging some of the paragraphs together for a better flow. Sorry, but this was nominated for GA too soon and needs extensive work to feasibly become one.

FWIW, I'm one of the main people who watch the page, and was pretty appalled that someone nominated it. It is unquestionably not ready. Whether it's really a B article or C article right now is a different question, but I'm not prepared to squabble over that now. There is no doubt that page needs a lot of improvement. I may try to tackle this at some point. StevenJ81 (talk) 22:36, 26 March 2018 (UTC)
