I am Reviewing this article for possible GA status. Shearonink (talk) 16:50, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

Some possible issues
This Review is on hold until the possible issues found on Earwig's Copyvio Detector are discussed etc. There is a 75% score with afi.com/members/catalog/DetailView.aspxs=&Movie=56407 the AFI article and a 90% score with alanparker.com/film/fame/making. Usually in these cases it is a matter of the other source mirroring WP or of an abundance of quotes appearing within the WP article. I am casting no aspersions here, just that this needs to be discussed on this Review page before I can proceed. Thanks, Shearonink (talk) 17:15, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria


 * 1) Is it well written?
 * A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
 * Just one spelling issue that was taken care of before I could even mention it here. Shearonink (talk) 23:38, 9 February 2017 (UTC)

All in-line citations are from reliable sources, including those for direct quotations, statistics, published opinion, counter-intuitive or controversial statements that are challenged or likely to be challenged, and contentious material relating to living persons&mdash;science-based articles should follow the scientific citation guidelines:
 * C. It contains no original research:
 * Ran checklinks, statements are referenced, etc. Shearonink (talk) 21:41, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

 * The timeline of the original movie and its subsequent projects is nicely laid-out and easy to understand. Going forward the only change I would think about would be to go through and adjust possible puffery words - for instance that Cara was propelled to "musical stardom" by the film, etc. Shearonink (talk) 22:11, 12 February 2017 (UTC)
