Preliminary Decision
Article is on hold until the 25th.  m ir a nd a   10:03, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Post-Analysis
I have failed this article, due to 1.) The article being on hold for almost a month, and 2.) lack of submitter addressing the issues during that timespan. One of the twenty-three issues were addressed, in summary.  m ir a nd a   00:01, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
