GA Reassessment

Article (edit | visual edit | history) · Article talk (edit | history) · Watch
As part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles' Project quality task force ("GA Sweeps"), all old good articles are being re-reviewed to ensure that they meet current good article criteria (as detailed at WP:WIAGA.) I have determined that this article needs some work to meet current criteria, outlined below:

• Large sections of the article appear to be unsourced. A small sampling:
  • "...having won the award for Best British Dance Act. Their success led to the recording of a new track, entitled "Party in the Club", for the theme tune to ITV's teenage drama show Girls in Love, based on the book of the same name by Jacqueline Wilson."
  • "The album was preceded by Xenomania-produced lead single "Hole in the Head", which became the groups's third UK number-one single and their first chart-topper in Denmark. It also reached number two in Ireland, Netherlands and Norway, and became the Sugababes' first single to chart in the US, reaching number ninety-six on the Billboard Hot 100 and the top of the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart."
  • "The second single, the Diane Warren-penned "Too Lost in You", appeared on the soundtrack to the film Love Actually (2003) and went top ten in Germany, the Netherlands, Norway and the UK. The album's third single, "In the Middle", was released in 2004 and garnered the group another BRIT Award nomination for Best Single; like its successor, the ballad "Caught in a Moment", it went to number eight on the UK Singles Chart."
  • "The third single from Taller in More Ways was a re-recorded version of "Red Dress", which was released in early 2006, and gave the Sugababes a third consecutive top five hit from the album, entering the UK singles chart at number four. Berrabah re-recorded three tracks and co-wrote a brand new track with Buchanan and Range, and these tracks appeared on a re-release of Taller in More Ways that reached number 18 in the UK chart."
  • All the the "Members" section; as this appears to be a major WP:BLP issue I think unless well-sourced much of the commentary should be axed.
• What makes Gm.tv, Ilikemusic, Celebrity Link, Artist Direct, thehiphopchronicle, Digital Spy, Spoonfed, Pop Justice, Youtube, contactmusic, and fortheone reliable sources? Furthermore, all citations need to be fully and consistently formatted, in whatever form you wish (but right now there are a mish-mash of incomplete templates.) There are lots of dead/redirect links!
• A paragraph must have at least three full sentences. Many groupings, i.e."All members, former and current, with the exception of Heidi Range, have completed solo work.", are not only unsourced but incomplete.
• The laundry list that is "Notable television appearances" needs to be cut down. Likewise, the last section covering just over a year is a whopping 12 paragraphs, far more coverage than any other section, and smacks of WP:RECENTISM.

I am putting the article on hold pending upkeep and improvement of the above for one week. Please keep me appraised of progress on this page. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs^(talk) 18:44, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

As no apparent and significant progress has been made in the time alotted, I am delisting the article. You may renominate it at WP:GAN any time, but I encourage addressing the above issues. If you have questions, take it to my talk (I don't watchlist these archived reviews.) Thanks, Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs^(talk) 21:10, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
