Which H Mitchell?[edit]

The "H. Mitchell" mentioned must be either Harry Mitchell (brewer) (who died young) or his father Henry Mitchell (brewer). Anyone have a source for which it is? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 20:57, 29 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Immediate failures[edit]

An article can be failed without further review (known as a quick fail) if, prior to the review:

It is a long way from meeting any one of the six good article criteria

It contains copyright violations

It has, or needs, cleanup banners that are unquestionably still valid. These include {{cleanup}}, {{POV}}, {{unreferenced}} or large numbers of {{citation needed}}, {{clarify}}, or similar tags (See also {{QF}})

It is not stable due to edit warring on the page

It has issues noted in a previous GA review that still have not been adequately addressed, as determined by a reviewer who has not previously reviewed the article

1. A large amount of this article is not suitably referenced, meaning that it is impossible to tell where the information comes from, and therefore whether it is original research. This means the article falls a long way short of meeting Criterion 2, "Verifiable with no original research".
3. As a further consequence of this, the article has a large number of {{citation needed}} templates.

Overall, this reads as a decent article, but unfortunately at this stage, I have to judge that it simply isn't ready for the GA process. I would recommend working through the article more or less sentence by sentence and adding inline citations for the facts presented. The Grounds, Records and Notable players could also do with expansion into prose to give them more context, but that mostly goes beyond the requirements of the GA criteria. I would very much encourage you to continue to work on this article and return to GA with it, but I'm afraid it just isn't there yet. Harrias ^{(he/him) • talk} 10:08, 29 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
