When I looked at this article I was vastly underwhelmed. It has a template at the top, no main image and lacks citations. It is in bad shape and should be failed even at GAR in its current state.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 03:05, 5 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I may not have used the template, but I was doing so while you were posting the reminder.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 03:16, 5 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wow. Underwhelmed is being polite. Tons of unsourced statements including entirely unsourced paragraphs. Many of the other references are hideously formatted in what appears to be an attempt to combine a bunch into a single ref. These issues are completely unacceptable for a BLP, much less an FA one. As no work has been done on it since the ref tag was placed, I'd suspect no one may respond to this to try to correct.Collectonian (talk) 03:13, 5 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Huge work needed. The ref formats are in trouble. Ceoil (talk) 14:12, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

FARC commentary[edit]

Suggested FA criteria concerns are citations (1c) and images (3). Marskell (talk) 16:45, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Remove - Lack of citations, some of which are BLP violations. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 04:38, 27 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Remove - The only thing worse than the lack of citations is the horrible formatting of the existing references. Not close to being an FA now. Giants2008 (talk) 01:27, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Remove - This is not exemplary of WP's finest work.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 14:44, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
