Failed "good article" nomination
[edit]This article has failed its Good article nomination. This is how the article, as of June 12, 2015, compares against the six good article criteria:
- 1. Well written?:
Not checked
- 2. Verifiable?:
As noted in more detail at Talk:2015 Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500/GA1, this article is one of a number nominated by this user that are poorly referenced. The majority of the information presented body of the article is completely lacking inline citations, which are a key part of Wikipedia's verifiability criteria. Without those it is impossible to tell which parts of the article are backed up by which sources, and as such, impossible to tell whether there is any original research.
- 3. Broad in coverage?:
Not checked
- 4. Neutral point of view?:
Not checked
- 5. Stable?:
Pass
- 6. Images?:
Not checked
Unfortunately, although it feels a bit heavy handed, I think the best action for the moment is to quick-fail all of the open nominations, as they fall so far short of our referencing requirements.
When these issues are addressed, the article can be renominated. If you feel that this review is in error, feel free to have it reassessed. Thank you for your work so far.— Harrias talk 09:12, 12 June 2015 (UTC)
