1. It is reasonably well written.

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

• The Lede is too short. There is a tag on this page to this effect.
• Infobox is comprehensive.
• Tenure section is excessively overlinked. See WP:MOSLINK

1. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism):

• Reference 2 is a dead link
• All links to Time Magazine are dead links. Run the Internet Archive Bot over this page.
• There are seven citation needed tags on the page.
• There are no references for the Electoral History tables.
• Committee assignment section has a tag outstanding since 2019
• every resident to enrol in a health plan and have taxpayers help pick up the tab for all the welfare low- and middle-income residents. In June 2008, state legislators voted for the first phase of that program mandating health care coverage and Corzine signed it into law in July.[citation needed]
• Corzine was one of several United States Governors and following in this paragraph is overlinked.
• MF Global section is too big; (MF Global and their collapse have their own article.)(Corzine has a complete section in this article.) This section is too large, reduce it to three paragraphs. Current paragraph 3 is far too large and contains material that belongs on the MF Global page.

1. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

• It is meet and fitting that Corzine spent $62 million on his senate election campaign. This election has its own page and this section may be effectively trimmed back to three paragraphs. Too much detail, see WP:PROSELINE.

1. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

• The section during Corzine's tenure as Governor and Presidents Clinton and Obama is excessively overlinked.
• Consideration was given to the scandal section, referencing Carla Katz. Neutral point of view and verifiability were examined and confirmed.

1. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

• Page created 5 October 2003 by Academic Challenger
• Page has 2725 edits by 1219 editors
• 90 day page views has 30,676 views with an average of 337 views daily.
• Page has had occasions of minor vandalism; Cluebot and other editors resolving quickly.
• Page is considered basically stable.

1. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.

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

• File:SenatorJonCorzine.jpg = This United States Congress image is in the public domain, due being a photograph of a (former) elected official (US Senate).
• File:Jon Corzine.jpg = Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 Generic license.
• File:Corzine final.pdf = Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 Unported license.

1. Overall:

• The Internet Archive bot should be run over this page and its references. Many are 404.
• The lede section is too short and needs more content.
• There are seven [7] citation needed tags on this page which need resolution
• Material in the MF Global section is too large and needs to be trimmed; MF Global has its own page.
• There is over-linking on this page. The Electoral History tables lack references.
• An amount of work is required on this page.

 

 On hold for one week. --Whiteguru (talk) 06:33, 2 July 2021 (UTC)

Whiteguru, I agree that the article would need significant work to maintain GA status. Suggest delisting it since it's been a week. (t · c) buidhe 07:02, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
