Checking against GA criteria

 * GA review (see here for criteria)


 * 1) It is reasonably well written.
 * a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
 * The book discusses Lady Gaga's early life, including her background from a New York household and businessman father.. Poor prose, please rephrase.
 * Born Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta on March 28, 1986, she attended Convent of the Sacred Heart from age 11. Suggest that this goes in front of the preceding sentence.
 * After a period of difficulty with her father due to her actions, she ceased this behavior pattern and took on a new name. Could be better phrased.
 * She had an emotional break-up from a man named Luke, Poor prose.
 * 1) It is factually accurate and verifiable.
 * a (references): b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR):
 * The ISSN for ref #8 points at Psychologie française.?
 * The ISSN for ref #9 points at Time Magazine?
 * The ISSN for ref #10 points at The Independent?
 * The ISSN for ref #11 points at The Australian Sunday Times?
 * The ISSN for ref #18 points at nothing
 * Suggest you simply drop the ISSNs as confusing.
 * Otherwise references OK
 * 1) It is broad in its coverage.
 * a (major aspects): b (focused):
 * 'Lady Gaga has been catalogued in the National Library of Australia''. Is this relevant? It would have been catalogued by the Library of Congress and the British Library as a matter of course.  All books published in USA or UK are catalogued.
 * Sales figures? Has it made any appearances on best seller lists?
 * 1) It follows the neutral point of view policy.
 * Fair representation without bias:
 * 1) It is stable.
 * No edit wars, etc.:
 * 1) It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
 * a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
 * 1) Overall:
 * Pass/Fail:
 * OK, on hold for seven days for above issues to be addressed. Jezhotwells (talk) 10:49, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
 * OK, I think all points addressed now. Happy to list as a Good Article. Jezhotwells (talk) 18:43, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
