 * GA Review on hold. It is up to the nominee to verify and correct all links and/or edit the article appropriately.



Chelsea, 2019–Present

 * 1) Is it reasonably well written?
 * Noted

International career

 * 1) Is it reasonably well written?
 * Link 57 is a dead link.
 * My over-riding sense here is that this section (and others above) have too many links. This is a page about the sporting history of Sam Kerr, not a statisticians history of her sporting career. A fine line has to be struck here. Consider.

Overall
A well presented page on the sporting achievements of Samantha Kerr, if overlinked, full of dead links and subject to Linkrot.

Conclusion
Twenty (20) Additional dead links were found, indicating the nominator did not follow the suggestion given above at Chicago Red Stars.

There are links to every international match Kerr has played and the goals she has kicked.

Consideration might be given to WP:TNT, blowing up the article and rewriting the article with a sensible number of links in each section. The reality is that this woman will remain in the public domain for the rest of her sporting career (possibly another 10 years, if not more). So the article will attract more linkrot over time.

Earlier commentary by this reviewer points out ''My over-riding sense here is that this section (and others above) have too many links. This is a page about the sporting history of Sam Kerr, not a statistician's history of her sporting career. A fine line has to be struck here. Consider. ''

We look forward to reading considerations regarding improvement and corrections of further linkrot detected. On Hold correction of linkrot and further considerations --Whiteguru (talk) 02:19, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

 Nominator has not shown any inclination to address issues outlined.

Article fails GA Review

 * , If you look at the history of the page, you'll see that almost half of the refs have been formatted and updated with archived or replacement links. Apologies, that it is taking a long time, but both and myself have quite a lot going on IRL right now. --SuperJew (talk) 08:05, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
 * , A complete run-through of all the refs has been done - all formatted correctly, and deadlinks replaced with alternative or archived links. --SuperJew (talk) 09:07, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you for notifying me. I have verified all the links. What I can do is archive this GA Review, which I will do anon, (please reply) and if you could renominate it again on the talk page after archiving this review, I may then proceed to action the new GA nomination. --Whiteguru (talk) 09:50, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
