On it! Zwerg Nase (talk) 07:18, 16 August 2015 (UTC)

I would like to be informed of issues on this GA, even if I was not the nominator, as I have contributed a lot to the article. &#39;&#39;&#39;tAD&#39;&#39;&#39; (talk) 17:46, 16 August 2015 (UTC)

Just some smaller things to do here:
 * Generally, the article could do with some more prose that does not just say he played here, he scored there. I am aware that might be difficult for his earlier years, but at least for last season, there must be many articles on him, profiles and so forth?
 * A Personal life section is missing completely.
 * 2012-13 season: Spurs recalled him four months early, so when exactly was that? February? Should be clarified.
 * Youth teams: end of second paragraph: fine run is not NPOV.
 * Youth teams: He was called up for the 2015 Euro. And what happened there? Please expand.

That's about all I could find. Good work so far! On hold for seven days. Zwerg Nase (talk) 18:34, 23 August 2015 (UTC)


 * I know you have seen issue before on articles which are too focussed on matchday details, but in this case, I think through the style of play section, one can see the evolution of Kane from an infrequent scorer who was mostly cast out on loan, and eventually the centrepiece of Tottenham and hyped-up England hopeful. As for personal life, I could have a look into that. We already have details on his childhood – albeit the parts related to football – and the fact of his Irish ancestry, I'm not sure what else to put. Most personal life sections include criminal record, famous relatives, dates, endorsements, and I'm not really sure how much of that relates to Kane. &#39;&#39;&#39;tAD&#39;&#39;&#39; (talk) 18:58, 23 August 2015 (UTC)


 * I could respond as I was not active, but thanks to tAD to make the changes. RRD13 দেবজ্যোতি (talk) 08:05, 25 August 2015 (UTC)


 * what to do next? RRD13 দেবজ্যোতি (talk) 07:34, 27 August 2015 (UTC)
 * , I feel that, even if just short, a personal life section should be there. There are several articles concerning it to be found (like 1, 2, 3. I know that this yellow press stuff is annoying, but well, that's the way it is, especially in the UK. Also, there are some profile pieces from his breakout period that might work to expand on both 2014-15 season and Style of play, like 1, 2 and 3. And that was just a quick search by me, I'm sure there's more. Zwerg Nase (talk) 10:21, 27 August 2015 (UTC)

Wow! Thanks for those resources. Not sure if I agree with the "long-term season ticket holder" that Spurs haven't had a hometown hero since the 1970s (!), one Ledley King springs immediately to mind &#39;&#39;&#39;tAD&#39;&#39;&#39; (talk) 13:52, 27 August 2015 (UTC)


 * , please have a look. RRD13 দেবজ্যোতি (talk) 11:18, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Looks good now, congratulations, it's a pass :) Please mind though: A lot of GAs about active footballers lose their eligibility quite quickly when no-one looks after the article. It would be great if you guys keep the article on this good level. Zwerg Nase (talk) 13:03, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
