- References, notes, bibliography - Is it a "further reading" or a true bibliography (these were the books used as references in this article), are notes separate from Refs. Y-N
- Content
- Subject complete - all aspects of the subject are covered. Y-N
- Neutrality - positive and negatives (where applicable) are covered with correct weighting. Y-N
- Refs
- References are reliable and more than one per paragraph, or in longer paragraphs more than one per two or three sentences. Y-TM-TF
- References are in a similar citation style. Y-N
- Prose and grammar
- Paragraphs not too small/big, sentences not too short Y-TB-TS
- Prose - consistent style throughout. Y-N
- MoS - copyedit necessary to tighten MoS parameters. Y-N (If yes, then instant fail? for non compliance with MoS)

- N - No
- TS - Too small

Notes
editHere, the important issue is not to fail an article if it does not fulfil all the questions - rather it is to see if the article is at an acceptable level of compliance (between 70 and 100%) and to generate notes ready for progressing to the next level(WP:GA)
Some points would be an instant fail though.
- Not meeting MoS may be due to minor infractions - but if there are major MoS issues the article should be failed until the work is remedied.
- Similarly, neutrality may be slightly awry - but a major lack of neutrality would result in a fail.
