I will be reviewing this one. BollyJeff | talk 14:25, 19 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Here are some initial thoughts as to what could hold it back. I will come with a more thorough review later:

Uncertain about the infobox picture - Are we sure that it's not copyrighted to Dabboo Ratnani Photography?
A couple dead links (and some duplicate sources that could be combined)
Some instances of close paraphrasing (copying the source exactly without quotations) - I will address which later
Stability - Ongoing edit warring about her background (father, birth name, birth date), and recent edit warring in the lead section

Oh boy, all sorts of grammatical and other problems just in the lead alone:

"beauty creation "Barbie Doll"." ?
"in which her role in the latter earner Kaif critical appreciation" ?
"Hindi cinema.[7] as a British citizen," ?
Source 2 does not say she was born Katrina Turquotte.
Source 5 contradicts her birth date.
Why 4 sources about Barbie in the lead, when it's barely mentioned in the body?

a) The lead is supposed to summarize the body, not introduce new material, see WP:LEAD.

b) It is not normal to have tons of sources in the lead, see WP:LEADCITE.

Background

This appears to have Wikipedia:Citation overkill caused by an edit war concerning her heritage.
"they gave her the Indian father" ?
"they also had thought her naming Katrina Kazi" ?
Last sentence is unsourced.

Okay that's it! There is no use going forward with this; it's nowhere near GA quality. I am sad to also say that because of her mysterious history, it may be a long time before this article can reach GA, even if it is improved. BollyJeff | talk 02:17, 20 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
