Removing versus failing drive-by GA nominations
The GA nominator has reverted the removal of the GAN of this article, stating that removal was not failure. In that statement he was actually correct – the two actions are different – but the removal was in accord with policy.

The Good article nominations/Instructions begin as follows (emphasis added, footnote displayed):


 * "Nominators must have contributed significantly to the article and be familiar with its subject and cited sources. Reviewers have the discretion to remove any drive-by nominations they come across.


 * [Footnote:] If the nominator is either the author of less than 10% of the article or ranked sixth or lower in authorship, and there is no post on the article talk page, it can be uncontroversially considered a drive-by nomination. "

Removing a nomination in this way is not the same as failing the nomination. Accordingly, I'm removing the one on this page now as a drive-by nomination.

I note in passing that the article also contains "citation needed" tags and other wholly uncited paragraphs, so the immediately available alternative to removal is to fail the GAN. Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:43, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
