I am reviewing. Binksternet (talk) 02:41, 1 December 2011 (UTC)


 * First things first: Why is there an unanswered tag at the top of the page asking for further references? I see some paragraphs without any references at all. These should have at least one. Binksternet (talk) 03:04, 1 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Second is that there are six dead links that need to be addressed. Ones from CNN, ET Online, Publisher's Weekly, Sun Times, News 4 Jax, and Gauntlet (U. Calgary). These ought to be replaced with archived versions of the articles, updated links to the articles, or simply by deleting the URL part of the reference. If a dead reference is redundant, supporting a fact that is supported by another reference, it can be deleted. Binksternet (talk) 03:08, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Archived New4jax article "George Carlin's Loved Ones Speak Out"
 * Archived Sun-Times article "Networks remembering George Carlin in classic reruns, specials"
 * Archived Gauntlet article "Gauntlet Entertainment - Comedy Preview: Russell Peters won't a hurt you real bad"
 * Archived ET Online article "George Carlin's Loved Ones Speak Out"
 * Archived Publisher's Weekly article "Free Press Acquires Posthumous Carlin Memoir"
 * That's five of the six. Binksternet (talk) 03:20, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

There is more to review in the article, of course, but I am going to pause until I determine whether someone has the time and willingness to jump in and work to improve it during the GA process. If not, the above problems will result in no GA listing. Me, I'm willing to stick with this review until the article qualifies. Binksternet (talk) 05:35, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

Just a couple more days and this nomination will be closed as not GA, unless article editors are willing to jump in and improve it. 07:57, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
 * One day more for a response from someone. Binksternet (talk) 17:57, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

Okay, I'm failing this GAN. It needed work but none was initiated. Binksternet (talk) 17:28, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
