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):

   The article does not meet the criterion of "reasonably well written. For example:

   Dato',[1] or occasionally Datin Seri,[2] Siti Nurhaliza binti Tarudin DIMP,[3] JSM,[3] SAP,[3] PMP,[3] AAP[3] (pronounced [siˈti nurˈhaliza binˈti taˈrudin] ; born January 11, 1979[3]) (Jawi: سيتي نورهاليز بنت تارودين) is a Malaysian singer, songwriter, record producer and businesswoman. is virtuallyunreadable.

   She rose to fame as a multiple-platinum selling artist, since her winning of Bintang HMI 1995 when she was only 16 where she was given offers in form of singing contract from four different international recording companies.

   Backed with 14 studio albums, she is one of the most popular artistes in the Malay Archipelago and Nusantara region and she has been voted nine times in a row for Regional Most Popular Artiste in the Anugerah Planet Muzik since 2001.

   These just from the first sections, there are many more throughout the article.

   Please get this article copy-edited by someone with a good command of plain English.

   The Lead section does not fully summarise the article, please read WP:LEAD

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

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

   13 dead links found and tagged.

   Those sources that I could examine appear to be reliable

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

   Possibly too much detail, suggest splitting off discography to a separate article.

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

   Article is written overall in a rather promotional tone. Copy-editing could aid getting a more encyclopaedic style.

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):

   I note that captions for the two sound samples could be rephrased more clearly.

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

   This article needs considerable work to bring it up to good article quality. Please consider the above points and after copy-editing take it to peer review before renominating. Fail GA nomination. Jezhotwells (talk) 21:36, 23 October 2010 (UTC)
