Evaluate the article

 * Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you?
 * Everything in the article seemed relevant to Stein's biography. Nothing was a distraction.
 * Is the article neutral? Are there any claims, or frames, that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?
 * The article appears mostly neutral. The only thing that could possibly be construed as an issue is the idea that Rockefeller University was where he did most of his most of his "important" work. What previous work did Stein do? Was it less important?
 * Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?
 * Stein's academic background and work on DNA is well-represented. His life and other research might be underrepresented.
 * Check a few citations. Do the links work? Does the source support the claims in the article?
 * All of the links in the References are broken. The only link that works is an external link to Nobelprize.org. This source contains a decent amount of information that does support the claims in the article. In fact, the article might benefit from the inclusion of additional details from the Nobelprize.org source. However, additional citations are definitely needed.
 * Is each fact referenced with an appropriate, reliable reference? Where does the information come from? Are these neutral sources? If biased, is that bias noted?
 * Since most of the references are broken, it is no longer known where some of the information comes from. There would have to be an investigation to possibly relocate the references. However, the one reference that is both not broken and heavily relied upon by the article seems reliable and neutral.
 * Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added?
 * None of the information appears out of date. However, I do have quite a few questions. This is especially with regards to Stein's life. Did his parent's backgrounds have any effect on his career choice or philosophies? Are there any details about Stein's early or late life? Details about his Jewish background? Details about his wife, children, and family life? Was there any other work or projects Stein contributed to that were less well-known?
 * Check out the Talk page of the article. What kinds of conversations, if any, are going on behind the scenes about how to represent this topic?
 * There are no discussions happening on the talk page. This suggests that not many people may be working on, collaborating, or watching this article right now...
 * How is the article rated? Is it a part of any WikiProjects?
 * This article is rated as a high-importance stub article. It is part of the WikiProject Chemistry.
 * Extra notes:
 * There are a few grammatical errors in this article... "was a subsequently a" and some missing commas.
