Meeting criteria
This article has been quick failed because "Factually accurate and verifiable" is not met as there a large sections where the article has zero citations. Right prior to the nomination, additional uncited information was added to the article. Article appears to cite primary research and possibly has WP:NPOV issues in its selection of studies to cite. Many of the references are 10+ years old and not sure how seminal these works are in the field.

This article fails "(b) it complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation.". There is a tag at the bottom of the article which supports this and has not been cleaned since 2009.

I do not believe these issues can be addressed in a timely manner given the existence of tags dating to 2009 and nomination when article had material inserted clearly violating a criteria for passing right before the nomination.

Going forward, I would strongly suggest the nominator look at the list, check off every item on the list and talk about this on the talk page. I would also suggest nominating the article for peer review to get assistance with WP:MEDMOS and WP:MEDRS. These will help you improve the article. Do not be discouraged as this article looks like with a fair bit of work, it should eventually get there. --LauraHale (talk) 21:38, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
