Dele Fadele

(
)

Created by Ceoil (talk). Self-nominated at 01:34, 18 January 2021 (UTC).

  • Beginning Review
  • Article is new enough and long enough.
  • Hook is correctly formatted.
  • Should "extensive" pieces be "long" or "detailed"?
  • extensive is fine. Ceoil (talk) 23:59, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
  • This sentence seems confused: "He was gregarious in life; according to Andrew Collins, in the 1990s Fadele arrived at the NME office each morning from a squat, but was always "absolutely impassioned"."
  • Hopefully clearer now. Ceoil (talk) 00:06, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
  • New Order need disambiguating.
  • Could you add anything about his early life? The article seems to start when he is already in his 30s.
  • Yup, hand on....Ceoil (talk) 23:59, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
  • Well referenced and neutral. Long book may as well be put with the other sources as it is only used once (needs a page number).
  • Long book mereged into the inlines. Its on google books, but seems to be a kindle version...ie doesn't give a page nr. Ceoil (talk) 00:01, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
  • Hook fact needs a ref immediately after (I added CN in the place)
  • Sorted....Ceoil (talk) 23:59, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
  • Is it true that Morrissey's career "never really recovered"? Not according to our article on him.
  • His credibility never recovered, and has continued to sink since, especially since Brexit. But agree, this is not the article for that. Removed. Ceoil (talk) 23:59, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
  • Awaiting QPQ.

Will finish later. Philafrenzy (talk) 10:17, 18 January 2021 (UTC)

  • Thanks Phil...I see you took care of a lot of these yourself. Will comb through and sort the remainder, and come back after a QPQ. Ceoil (talk) 20:25, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
  • Philafrenzy, the QPQ has been provided. Please return to complete your review, since you have already claimed QPQ credit for it on an article that has since been promoted. Thank you. BlueMoonset (talk) 16:41, 2 February 2021 (UTC)
Continuing review. Not sure about Nigerian-English in the hook. He was born in Highbury, London, and spent his career in England too. I would call him Black British or just drop his nationality/ethnicity from the hook entirely as it doesn't add much. What about saying that the death of NME music critic (or journalist) Dele Fadele wasn't well-known for more than two years after the event? Could be stronger if you could say it wasn't known to his own colleagues for two years? Only Earwig matches are quotes and titles. Other issues dealt with. Will tick once hook finalised.

Ok, agree with these, will ping when done, and thanks for adding the photograph! Ceoil (talk) 12:21, 26 February 2021 (UTC)
Ceoil, it's been over seven days, and nothing's been done here and nor to the article. Are you planning to return to this soon, or have you decided not to pursue the nomination? BlueMoonset (talk) 15:25, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
hi. Most of these are done (by Phil!). Will finish off this afternoon. Ceoil (talk) 13:47, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
Have rephrased the hook per suggestions. Its now much better. Phil themselves sorted most of the remaining issues, thanks Phil! Ceoil (talk) 21:14, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
Made a small adjustment to the hook. Good to go. Philafrenzy (talk) 08:59, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
