I shall be reviewing this article against the Good Article criteria, following its nomination for Good Article status.

Disambiguations: two found and fixed. Jezhotwells (talk) 17:17, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

Linkrot:one (ref #8) found and tagged. Jezhotwells (talk) 17:25, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

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):
 * at P.S. 109. I presume this means Public School 109. Abbreviations such as this are not permitted by the MoS.
 * Why is [Gebrauchsgraphik] in square brackets?
 * The lead does not fully summarize the article, it also introduces information not found in the article, e.g. his death and burial. Please see WP:LEAD. The cuase of death and place of burila will of course also need citing.
 * 1) It is factually accurate and verifiable.
 * a (references): b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR):
 * ref #8 is dead and not available at the Internet Archive
 * refs #10 & '12 are bare urls, need to be formatted using the appropriate cite template for consistency.
 * Why do refs #1 & '2 have a "+" sign after the page numbers?
 * Assume good faith for off-line sources.
 * refs #5 & #11 need page numbers for consistency.
 * “from that moment on, Rand devoured books by the leading philosophers on art, including Roger Fry, Alfred North Whitehead, and John Dewey." Quotations need cites.
 * 1) It is broad in its coverage.
 * a (major aspects): b (focused):
 * Needs details of death and burial as per note above
 * 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):
 * Fair use rationales and captions OK,
 * File:Paul rand miscellany.jpg is not discussed in the article so it shouldn't be there.
 * 1) Overall:
 * Pass/Fail:
 * On hold for seven days for above issues to be addressed. Jezhotwells (talk) 18:02, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
 * There has been no response to this review, so I am failing the nomination. Jezhotwells (talk) 00:23, 4 December 2010 (UTC)
