Starting review

[edit]

I'm happy to commence this review. Please contact me if there is anything else about the article I should be aware of. Thanks very much. Jack | talk page 06:27, 27 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Jack, thanks for taking this on. Poe was a candidate in the just-completed Philippine Presidential election, yet the article says almost nothing about the actual campaign itself, especially the period after Poe had been confirmed as an eligible candidate by their Supreme Court. I don't see how, without a major infusion of new material on the election and its results (Poe came in third, not far behind Roxas, the second-place finisher, but well behind Duterte, who got far more votes), the article meets the broadness criteria. (There's also too much time spent on the eligibility fight, especially when you consider how little is spent on the campaign, including the period when she was ahead in the polls, and what happened to that lead.) A lot of work will be needed to make the article more balanced so it meets the GA criteria. BlueMoonset (talk) 07:29, 27 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, BlueMoonset. Thanks very much for the heads-up. I'll certainly take all of that into account. I haven't actually started reading it just yet. Do let me know if anything else comes up. Jack | talk page 20:27, 27 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Immediate failure

[edit]

Having taken into account the points raised by BlueMoonset above and, following my own initial reading of the article, I have decided on immediate failure of the GAN because "it is a long way from meeting any one of the six good article criteria", namely "broad in its coverage". This criterion requires that "it addresses the main aspects of the topic", but the article is out of date as it does not cover the recent presidential election, surely the most important development in the subject's career to date. Much more work is required before it can again aspire to GA. Jack | talk page 20:42, 27 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
