Will have a look. MWright96 (talk) 19:46, 13 August 2016 (UTC)

I am sorry to say that I will have to quick fail this nomination, as the article is qualified under the relevant criteria at GA?. In this case of this particular article, I noted several problems which stand in its way of achieving GA status at this time. Also, the nominator has contributed to the article only once, and the entry has been through periods of edit warring over content in the past.

With a quick glance, the article needs an complete overhaul. The primary issue is that the entry is under-referenced. Despite having 142 citations and some book sources in the further reading section, there are several entire paragraphs which are unreferenced, and there is one banner in the media coverage section. There are also multiple citation needed tags and at least one original research tag. It also will need prose cleanup to make easier to read for people who have no knowledge of the field and some it has non-neutral wording. Once they have been significant work put into the article, it can be brought back to GAN. However, users should not nominate an article if they have not made a significant contribution towards improving it. MWright96 (talk) 20:05, 13 August 2016 (UTC)
