This review will be a fail because the article is a list, not an article, and the recognized process for this article to meet would be featured list, not good article. In the interest of moving this page towards this process, I'm going to offer some feedback here anyway.

First, the lead needs to be a few solid paragraphs. While this page clearly depends on the main article, Timeline of the 2020 Atlantic hurricane season can be looked at as an example of a modern FL quality lead for a timeline, though of course the subject is different. Timeline of the Warren G. Harding presidency is a different sort, but is a very recently promoted FL you can look to for examples. If you're serious about taking this to FLC, I'd be looking closely at how the Harding timeline does things and formatting this article around that. Don't require readers to go to the main article to make sense of this one. Remember that FL's run on the main page as independent content.

For the actual timeline, every date under a "year" header does not need to repeat the year. Try and make the entries concise, and add some wikilinks. The article could also use some images rather than being a wall of text, should any be available. I think you're not impossibly away from FL standards if you add a quality lead section and tighten up the prose, but by definition this will not be a GA, as lists are ineligible for that process. Therefore, this nomination fails. Courcelles (talk) 15:24, 12 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
